Welcome to employees of BAE Systems

 

Our heartfelt support goes out to you during this difficult time of transition. You don't need to go through this job search alone. Minnesota Job Partners has been selected by a committee of your colleagues to provide Dislocated Worker Program services in order to help you prepare for new employment.

Please review a summary of the program benefits so that you are aware of the opportunities available to you.

The Dislocated Worker Program is a State-funded grant, so there is no cost to you. We strongly recommend that you enroll in this valuable program.

  1. A valid MN driver’s license or a MN ID card
  2. Social Security card or a copy of your W2 with your social security number on it.  If you are not a US citizen, bring your work visa.
