As South Dakota’s wind energy capacity continues to grow, technical colleges are stepping up to train the next generation of skilled workers.
A recent article in The Public Opinion highlights how schools like Lake Area Technical College and Mitchell Tech are seeing increased enrollment in energy programs, thanks to strong industry partnerships and support from the Build Dakota Scholarship program. Graduates are landing high-paying jobs—many before they even finish their degrees.
