The Central Minnesota Jobs and Training Services, Inc. (CMJTS) Workforce Development Board (WDB) believes that everyone deserves the opportunity to be employed, find meaningful employment, receive vital training, and enjoy personal success.
Our mission is to provide leadership that integrates workforce, education, and economic resources for our communities. The board’s focus is to assist jobseekers and employers in creating workforce solutions in an ever-changing economy. Minnesota has experienced many challenges over the past years, including the Great Recession, the COVID-19 pandemic, the supply chain crisis, and fluctuating inflation and unemployment rates. The year 2023-2024 may bring more challenges, which will make the services we provide even more crucial to our local economies and communities throughout our 11-county region in Greater Minnesota.
CMJTS is a reliable, trustworthy source for job skills training and employment services, while also providing jobseekers with needed access to a complete network of employers. For nearly 40 years, CMJTS has provided quality training, career guidance, and job placement services for thousands of people looking for work and local businesses in need of qualified workers.
The business and community members on the CMJTS Workforce Development Board are honored to recognize our outstanding staff of workforce professionals. We know that day in and day out, staff are in the community doing the important work of serving local employers and jobseekers and continue to provide significant resources that impact our local communities.
