A Guide to Minnesota Workforce Service Providers

A GUIDE FROM THE GROW MINNESOTA! TEAM
Demographic and migration trends have created a chronically tight labor market in Minnesota. While this presents a challenge for businesses, it also provides a unique opportunity for employers to expand their hiring strategies and tap into new talent pools that they have not traditionally accessed. These hidden talent pools can bring significant value to businesses, but they may be difficult for employers to locate, train, and retain. To bridge this gap, Minnesota’s community-based workforce service providers offer programs that equip unemployed or underemployed workers with the necessary skills and support to develop life changing careers while adding value to the state's economy.
The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce’s Grow Minnesota! team can help businesses identify potential partners to address their workforce needs while increasing employment opportunities in their communities. This article provides an overview of five of these providers, outlining the services they provide and how employers can partner with them.
