MnDOT Office of Civil Rights Business and Program Development Highlights

Did you know? MnDOT Office of Civil Rights Business and Program Development team works to connect certified small businesses and underrepresented members of the workforce to opportunities in highway heavy construction. Our team partners with the business community to: 

  • Build the capacity of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises
  • Increase the number of certified DBEs in Minnesota
  • Grow Minnesota’s skilled construction workforce

In the past year, over 100 small businesses received education, training, and networking opportunities through the team's activities and initiatives. Over 65 people received highway heavy construction training and were exposed to new career pathways. Learn more about these events and see what's planned for this construction season (PDF).

Our Business and Program Development Program works to create more opportunities to engage with small businesses, and continue to grow Minnesota’s workforce to reflect the diversity of our state throughout the 2017 construction season. We look forward to collaborating with new firms, industry partners, and interested members of the community to provide education and outreach, and to create future opportunities for business and workforce development.
