September is Workforce Development Month
September 3, 2024
It’s Workforce Development Month – a time to highlight how workforce development professionals across the state are connecting Minnesotans with employment and helping Minnesota employers hire the staff they need for their businesses to thrive. Governor Walz just proclaimed September as Workforce Development Month – one of the many ways Minnesota state agencies, non-profit organizations and other entities are marking the month.
Government and non-profit workforce development partners, educational institutions and employers throughout the state along with other workforce system stakeholders are working together to connect people who need employment to the employers who need them. These collaborative efforts are aimed at welcoming people to Minnesota, retaining current workers, reaching out to include often-overlooked communities and targeting training investments to help Minnesotans prepare for in-demand occupations.
