Reskilling and upskilling resources

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed Minnesota’s job market in many ways. As our economy recovers, jobs will come back – but many will not look the same as those we lost. Big shifts in technology and business are changing hiring needs. If you lost a job during the last year, it’s likely you’ll need to find a new one that requires new skills.

The good news is, there are way more opportunities in Minnesota than you might think – and we’re here to help.

All across Minnesota, we have professional employment counselors ready to help you find the opportunity that fits your needs. Whether that’s matching your skills to a job that’s available right now, or connecting you to short-term training opportunities that lead to jobs in careers built for the future, we have the tools and training you need.
