Help for employers to train workers
Do you need help training or upskilling your employees? Programs are available to help!
Talent Development Program
Businesses have a new tool help offset a portion of the costs to train their employees. The Talent Development Program is a business-driven funding assistance resource for qualifying Minnesota employers to provide skills training to full-time, permanent employees. Training could be in technical or business skills that helps the employers improve their processes and competitiveness and/or avert a layoff. For more information, contact Tim Beaver at timothy.beaver@minneapolismn.gov.

Apprenticeship
This model helps provide a structured opportunity for employees to gain skills and experience, learning in the classroom and on the job. Apprenticeships benefit workers by providing a clear pathway with paid work as they build skills and results in an industry-recognized credential. For employers, you are building your own pipeline of workers that are becoming training in the skills you need.
The new, first in state Apprenticeship Outreach Office will be opening soon at the north Minneapolis comprehensive CareerForce Center location, which will help workers prepare for and access apprenticeship opportunities.
To find out how to register an apprenticeship for your business, visit the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry website here.
