The State of Minnesota has expanded a new mobile application, called Workforce One Connect, that provides customers of employment and economic support programs with quick and easy access to their counselors and caseworkers using a smartphone or tablet. Using the app, customers can sign in securely and directly message their staff. They can also take a photo of a document and send it in an encrypted message without having to fax or deliver them to a local office, and can find resources in their community for food, housing, child care, and more. The app is now available in four languages: English, Spanish, Somali, and Hmong.
