Still Time to Partner with Us for Week of Work
What do you wish you knew about your job when you were 15? Join us for South Dakota Week of Work, April 11-15, to offer your expertise and engage with current South Dakota students (AKA your potential future workforce).
Participate virtually in the 2022 Week of Work in two ways:
Share your Knowledge as a Virtual Panelist during the Week of Work. Businesses will be grouped, three per panel. These moderator-led panels are about 40-minutes. Panelist slots are available April 12-14 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. (CDT) via Zoom. Register to be a panelist.
Create short videos about your business's occupation(s). These 3-minute or less videos should focus on one occupation each. View full video guidelines and submission instructions. Submission deadline is Monday, March 14.
Videos will be uploaded to YouTube and the Week of Work website for students to learn about career options in South Dakota. Videos will also be used to promote the Week of Work on social media. View last year's videos.
