Press Release
Issues: Higher Education
"Establishing career academies across North Dakota is a critical piece of our comprehensive efforts to address the state's workforce shortage," Burgum said. "We are fortunate to have the resources available to honor the commitment made in 2021 and provide authority to borrow from the Bank of North Dakota to get these projects going and avoid delaying construction. We're grateful to leaders Hogue and Lefor and every member of the Legislature for backing this important bill that will create new opportunities for our high school and college students and support economic growth."
