Workforce Training Services

The Department of Labor and Regulation (DLR) provides a variety of workforce training services for both youth and adult job seekers.

“The workforce training program is an important element in developing and growing South Dakota’s workforce,” said state Labor and Regulation Secretary Marcia Hultman. “Proper training leads to better jobs, which helps our state’s workforce and economy.”

DLR workforce experts can help job seekers by offering career exploration, on-the-job training and tuition assistance. This opens up opportunities for career advancement and improved quality of life.

The workforce training program also helps individuals improve their basic math and reading skills through preparation for GED® testing and the National Career Readiness Certificate.

“We strive to help both youth and adults with career planning and guidance, and to understand the expectations of employers,” said Secretary Hultman.

In the last program year, more than 300 individuals used the workforce training program to help cover class tuition for accounting, bio-medical, diesel technology, financial services, surgical technician and many other occupations.
