MINOT, N.D. (KXNET) — Education leaders are finding ways to close the workforce shortage issues that may arise in the future. And now, a new career and technical education center have officially broken ground to help close this gap. Minot State University and the Dakota College at Bottineau have teamed up to provide hands-on education for dental hygiene and assisting. What used to be Trinity Health's Human Resource offices will now be transformed into classrooms and fully equipped dental rooms. This is only the second college in North Dakota that provides these programs, and leaders hope this will not only fill a workforce shortage gap in the dental industry but also bring more people to the Magic City as well.
