About Dakota Roots

The Process in Action

Dakota Roots will grow the South Dakota workforce by encouraging those with ties to the state to return - to live, grow, and build. This is not a typical job search Web site. Completely confidential, an individual's name will never be provided to potential employers. Instead, Dakota Roots will match participants with career openings available from the state's leading businesses. Participants will be notified when openings are appropriate to their skill sets. If interested, the participants can pursue the openings directly with the business.

Who Can Participate?

Dakota Roots is for anyone interested in making a home in South Dakota and for anyone interested in helping family and friends find a rewarding career in our state.
