Transportation is about connecting people to family, friends and community. Everyone who lives in or passes through our state is impacted by our transportation system. Whether traveling to a school, retail or grocery store, sporting event, clinic, place of work or special event, our lives are touched nearly every day by our access to transportation. Delivering a dependable and high-quality transportation system relies upon a skilled and culturally competent workforce. The state’s competitive employment market drives us to seek new opportunities to build, grow and engage our workforce. Our team members are proud to serve the public every day. We are committed to investing in their growth and creating a workplace where everyone can contribute their best.
Employee Recruitment Strategies:
*Deploy a robust, statewide recruitment effort to promote our employment opportunities and expand our candidate pool particularly for underrepresented groups
*Implement a framework for selection of diverse talent that uses a comprehensive approach and mitigates unconscious bias in our processes

The Minnesota State Center of Excellence promotes connectivity between industry and Minnesota State colleges and universities. We facilitate relationships by engaging academic institutions with industry and provide educational outreach by inspiring interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

Our belief is that these efforts will shape the next generation of engineers who will solve real-world problems. We also work to foster accessibility to the latest technologies, workforce programs, and post-secondary education. We enhance services and activities, to recruit/retain a more diverse student population to better reflect Minnesota’s changing demographics.
