Partnership for 21st Century Skills

A world class education and a strong workforce prepared for the jobs of tomorrow are South Dakota’s vision for its future.  We believe a well educated workforce that can be competitive in our complex global economy.  To meet that vision, Governor Mike Rounds launched the 2010 Education Initiative (2010E).  It outlines a plan with new, innovative ideas that offer South Dakota’s young people the best education to prepare them for post-secondary education, the workforce and life.  Combining the efforts of 2010E and The Partnership for 21st Century Skills initiative create a powerful movement to meet the needs of business, education, and a better way of life for South Dakotans. Governor Rounds made the announcement to join the Partnership for 21 Century Skills prior to the first meeting of South Dakota's new P21 Advisory Council in June, 2007. The 20-member council consists of business leaders, lawmakers and representatives from K-12 and higher education. The group will serve an advisory role as South Dakota seeks to ensure that its students are prepared for life in the 21st century.
