Webinar: Connecting New Americans to Job Opportunities
UNDATED (WJON News) - In Minnesota, there are less than 100,000 unemployed people statewide; as a result, businesses are having to get creative to find a workforce.
Careerforce, a service of the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, is offering a look into newly resettled Minnesotans and how to connect with them for employment opportunities.
