Meet Our Interns
For the last few months, Kore Cares has been lucky enough to have three interns from the Career and Technical Education Academy (CTE) here in Sioux Falls. CTE provides high school students advanced training in a variety of career areas. Students attend CTE during a 2-hour free period from their regular school schedule. During their time as interns, they engaged in online training for the home care field, nursing visits, meetings, marketing and event preparations, and client interactions such as introductions and consultations. We enjoyed getting to know these ladies, and we want to give you a chance to do the same!
