Minnesota's population is aging, but economic opportunities continue to flourish. Workforce development must evolve and not only is it necessary to look in new places - but it's also good business! You can increase total employment and improve your outcomes.

How It Works

We work with you and your unique workforce needs to create a program of optional services starting with recruitment of new talent, through training, upskilling, and retention support with wrap-around services.

Retention

81% of program participants placed in jobs retained their employment for 12 months or more.

I really appreciate the inclusion and support I’ve received from my colleagues, fellow apprentices, and from PPL. It’s exciting to work and to learn from amazing people who have unique backgrounds and valuable knowledge to share with you.
