approval of training. Before training is approved by the Department of Labor and Regulation, the department must find that employment opportunities for which the individual is suited by training or experience are minimal in the individual's usual labor market area based on current labor market information and are unlikely to improve in the foreseeable future; that the training is in an occupation or skill for which there are, or are expected to be upon completion of the training, employment opportunities in the area where the individual intends to seek work; and that the individual has aptitudes or skills which can be usefully supplemented by retraining. Under this section, employment for which the claimant is suited by training or experience means suitable work considering the factors in SDCL 61-6-17.
