Who we are
& What we do:

Minnesota Job Partners is affiliated with the Teamsters.  With union roots, we help our clients get good jobs with higher pay.  We believe all people deserve a living wage, health insurance, time to care for their loved ones, and the ability to grow old with dignity. 

 

We take a holistic approach to each client’s wellbeing by helping them first take care of their health insurance and finances.  We are trained to provide Trauma Informed Care for clients impacted by recent racial violence and the pandemic.

 

We recognize that Minnesota suffers from some of the worst racial disparities in the nation when it comes to wealth, health, and education.  We are focused on improving outcomes for populations facing barriers to employment; specifically, women, people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ individuals, veterans, and people with disabilities.  We are also focused on empowering our clients to get the training they need for a higher-paid, higher-skilled, in-demand job.
