The Department of Labor and Regulation is offering teens and young adults between the ages of 14 and 21 opportunities to explore careers in their communities, interact with businesses and educators, and prepare for the world of work through Career Ready SD’s Summer Passport Series.

They will be in Madison on Thursday, June 27, at 10 a.m at the Dakota State University  Cyber/Computer Science Department .
