  • Healthcare occupations that provide direct health care services are among the fastest growing professions in South Dakota and are projected to make up approximately 10% of the
    state’s projected new jobs between 2016 and 2026.*
  • The number of retirees is increasing in South Dakota.
  • Challenging, fulfilling roles from certified nursing assistants to physicians, from med aides to nurse practitioners are available to new high school graduates, those recareering and those coming home.
