Are You Ready to Connect with South Dakota Students?

If you have not yet registered your business in the Future Workforce Finder, now is the time. Go to weekofwork.sd.gov and click on the Future Workforce Finder button to create a profile. The Future Workforce Finder, an online matching system launched recently by the departments of Education (DOE) and Labor and Regulation (DLR), will help connect educators with businesses to facilitate work-based learning for students and attract future employees.

Businesses can help align classroom learning with on-the-job learning by:

• Providing a range of experiences that include career awareness and exploration to career preparedness
• Encouraging students to develop professional relationships with industry and community leaders
• Ensuring students receive monitored experiences with evaluated feedback
• Offering career guidance and coaching, general academic and educational guidance, and professional growth support to students
• Offering career immersive experiences for students that mimic, as closely as possible, real-world workplace experiences.

Later this year, educators will be able to begin using the system to make connections between students and employers.
