Employment

There are many exciting career opportunities on the horizon in Northeast Minnesota. The most important thing you can do to access them is to actively prepare now for when hiring takes place. This means developing or honing your resume, clearly articulating your skills, acquiring new skills through training, and giving serious consideration to what you want out of a new job.

Workforce Centers across the region can help you prepare for these opportunities by helping you create or upgrade your resume and compose cover letters and other job search correspondence. Workforce Center staff are professionally trained to guide job seekers in using the most effective means of getting the next job, including accessing the hidden job market. In some cases, Workforce Centers are the first point of contact for new companies, such as Mesabi Nugget at the Workforce Center in Hibbing. Competition for jobs associated with new developments will likely be high. Taking advantage of the free services at local Workforce Centers will help you most effectively prepare to compete.

You can always find postings of local jobs on the state’s largest online job bank Minnesota Works.
