Thanks to Board Members and Partners! |
In honor of Workforce Development Month, we would like to extend our thanks to the Minneapolis Workforce Development Board members, trainers, employer partners, and community-based partner agencies! Our collective work on behalf of Minneapolis job seekers open doors of opportunity for all Minneapolis residents to succeed in today's labor force.
September is Workforce Development Month
September is Workforce Development Month, a time to honor workforce development leaders and staff across Minnesota, as well as draw attention to the resources available to those looking for work and to employers who need workers. Mayor Frey issued a proclamation declaring September as Workforce Development month.
"There are multiple ways we can address disparities and help employers connect with labor pools they may have overlooked," said Laura Beeth, Chair of the Minneapolis Workforce Development Board, Chair of the Governor's Workforce Development Board (GWDB) and Vice President for Workforce Partnerships at M Health Fairview. "We're focused on developing policies and guidelines to help employers welcome members of under-represented labor pools."
