‘Dirty Jobs’ star Mike Rowe says South Dakota ‘crushing it’ with Build Dakota Scholarship
South Dakota’s push to emphasize the value of trade schools through public-private partnerships is unmatched in the rest of the country, TV personality Mike Rowe told an audience Thursday at Southeast Technical College.
Rowe, the host of “Dirty Jobs,” a show that highlights blue-collar work – including jobs that many people don’t want because they are labor intensive – said he has toured the country advocating for more people to enter rewarding, and lucrative, careers in various skilled trades. Rowe was in the state to celebrate the 10th year of the Build Dakota Scholarship.
“I’m looking for a place that’s crushing it, and it’s here,” he said. “It’s this state.”
