Thank you to the school districts who participated in the 2022 South Dakota Week of Work and provided tremendous work-based learning opportunities for their students during this special week and to those who do so all school year long! This event helps introduce middle and high school students to career opportunities in their own communities and across South Dakota. Below is a sampling of in-person activities from several school districts.

Hanson High School held activities throughout the week: Community Worker Riddle, SD Week of Work Task Cards, job shadowing, and Company Chats. For participating in some of the activities, students could enter drawings for a chance to win prizes at the end of the week.

Dakota Valley High School students heard from a keynote speaker at a kickoff event, went on industry tours, and attended a career fair. Huron High School also held a career fair.

Thank you to panelists and moderators who also helped make the week a success through online discussion panels. Panel recordings and business videos are available at SDWeekofWork.com.
