Event Description

Jason Howell and Mason Sullivan attended the Vermillion Career fair on October 11th, 2023. There were 20 businesses in attendance as well as the University of South Dakota, with a goal of students getting to learn about various industries in the area and have job connections. Jason and Mason discussed the benefits of Registered Apprenticeships with students and how the apprenticeship model may be an avenue for them after high school. They also took turns going around to the various businesses in attendance to pass out StartTodaySD brochures and discuss how a Registered Apprenticeships may help their business. They partnered with the Vermillion local Job service office and joined our two tables together to cover what local offices do for job seekers, goals for apprenticeships, and how we are related.
