Boost Your Career

Interested in a Post-Secondary Education?

So, you’ve got your high school diploma or a GED® credential. Maybe you just graduated. Maybe you’ve been in the workforce for a while. Are you thinking you’re ready to take your career to the next level? One way to do so is attending post-secondary training. Whether that means a university, technical college, registered apprenticeship, or on-the-job training, Career Launch SD can help you find a path that works for you.

Ask the Right Questions

To ensure you make the best investment of your time and financial resources, you need to ask the right questions. Here are a few examples of questions Career Launch SD can help you answer.

1. Which career is right for me? The goal of pursuing post-secondary training is to find long-term, meaningful employment. Knowing what types of careers you will enjoy before you enter a training program can save you time and money. Let us help you assess your strengths, weaknesses, interests, and aptitudes. These assessments can help match you with a career you can be happy with long-term.

2. Which type of training is best for me? South Dakota has many opportunities for training. Deciding which one works best for you depends on a lot of things, such as your economic situation, your schedule, the amount of support you have, and how much time you want to spend in training. Another major consideration is your learning style. Do you thrive in the classroom, or do you prefer a more hands-on experience? Are you aware of all your options? Career Launch SD can help you explore what’s available and choose the one that makes the most sense for you.

3. How much support do I have? Obtaining a post-secondary credential such as a technical degree or journeyman apprenticeship status can be a challenge. How much support do you have from your community, friends, and family? Add Career Launch SD to your list of supporters. Not only can we help you find and register for training, but we are here to coordinate resources and help you stay focused on your plan of action.

Career Launch SD has opportunities for everyone looking to start or advance a career. You may even be eligible for funding to help with the cost of tuition and support services. We can help navigate the financial challenges life can throw at you on your journey to success.

Many training programs are accepting applications and registrations now. Contact Career Launch SD today to be ready for training this fall.
