The South Dakota workshop will begin on August 3rd with remarks from Gov. Daugaard followed by a series of roundtable discussions that will examine what states, industry and educational institutions can do to enhance career opportunities for students and jobseekers. On August 4th, workshop attendees will visit Lake Area Technical College, winner of the 2017 Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence.
