Winner School District has been awarded a South Dakota Workforce Education Grant.
The grant is to develop an agriscience learning center.
Five South Dakota Workforce grants totaling $1,040,000 have been awarded to four South Dakota school districts and one private nonprofit
In 2013, the South Dakota Legislature established the workforce education fund. Part of that fund was designated to provide grants for career and technical education programs in secondary schools.
The purpose of the grant program is to provide the opportunity to make change in career and technical education programs. High quality CTE programs give students the knowledge, skills and experiences to be prepared for postsecondary education and the workforce.
“These grants help ensure that career and technical education programs across the state offer students up to date training that leads to postsecondary education or entry into the workforce,” said Tiffany Sanderson, the South Dakota Department of Education’s director of career and technical education. “Strong relationships among high schools, postsecondary and businesses lay the foundation for growing tomorrow’s workforce.”
