This week we had a great opportunity to learn about careers in the energy industry during Energy Day!
We started at Jacam Catalyst, we learned about the chemical treatment process on oil rigs. Then Continental Resources and NOV came in and we learned about the petroleum industry, engineering, downhole operations, and instrumentation and electrical. We then had Denny’s Electric come in to learn about electrical careers. We were joined by SM Fencing for the lunch. We finished the day with a tour and presentation at Steffes, learning about oilfield manufacturing. It was a great day of learning and career exploration!

March 4th was our second to last time meeting for this year. We started our day off with going to Ryan Kadrmas’s farm. We learned about the most common seeds from North Dakota. Ryan also explained some processes to us, like how the seeds are picked, how they treat them once planted and how the different seeds require different conditions. Next we went to TMI and got a tour of their facility and learned about all the different processes and jobs required to make their products. We learned that there are many people working behind the scenes to help provide their services in an efficient way.

After our lunch, we were given a presentation about career services at DSU from Marissa Schroeder which taught us about how to be professional when sending an email and how so much can change in the future! Then for our last presentation of the day we met with Dr. Chip Poland of the agricultural department in DSU and he gave us a presentation about everything we needed to know about agriculture and how jobs that you would never think could be involved in agriculture can be! We have had many great sessions this year and we are excited for the last one!

Our February Leadership Dickinson session is in the books - getting closer and closer to graduation for this bunch!

We had a very eventful day. The day began at the Chamber of Commerce, where we participated in a team building activity. From there, we walked a few blocks to Bravera Bank, where we received a tour from Tim Brooke and Jared Bullinger. We learned about the bank’s history and role in the community. Next, we headed to Dickinson City Hall and had the opportunity to speak with Carter Fong and Xander Beeson about their marketing projects. We also listened to City Engineer Joshua Skulzaech, who shared insights into his work and responsibilities. Afterward, we returned to the Chamber for lunch. In the afternoon, we visited Dickinson Emergency Services, where we toured the facility and learned valuable information about how they serve and protect our community. We heard from Lieutenant Mike Hanel of the Dickinson Police Department and then visited the Fire Department, where Fire Chief Jeremy Presnell gave us a tour. One of the highlights was getting to go up on the ladder. We wrapped up the day back at the Chamber, reflecting on our experiences and discussing everything we’d learned.

Delayed due to weather in December, the students finally got to go to the State Capitol this month!

Today with Leadership Dickinson was an unforgettable and inspiring experience. We visited the North Dakota State Capitol in Bismarck during the legislative committee meetings, which gave us a real look into how our state government works. We started the day by meeting Governor Kelly Armstrong and the First Lady, who shared his career journey and what it takes to be a strong and effective leader. It helped us better understand the responsibilities and dedication that come with leadership. After that, we toured the Capitol and learned about its history and importance.

We then enjoyed lunch in the Capitol cafeteria before meeting with Attorney General Drew Wrigley, who gave us insight into his career and the responsibilities of his job. It was eye-opening to learn about the legal side of leadership and how much work goes into protecting and serving the people of North Dakota. We ended the day at the Heritage Center, where we explored artifacts and learned more about North Dakota’s past. We are so grateful and blessed to have had this opportunity, and it was both educational and so much fun!
