PREPARING FOR A REGISTRATION SESSION
Please bring the following to your session:
▪ Layoff Letter ▪ Driver’s License or State-issued photo ID ▪ Social Security Card/W2 ▪ DD214 (if veteran)
If you don’t have all of these items on hand, don’t worry! You can bring them to your first meeting with your counselor, but we need them prior to completing your enrollment (state requirement).
A Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) is required for all participants with less than a Bachelor’s Degree who wish to participate in any training. An interest assessment is required for all participants who wish to take any training regardless of grade level.
ON-SITE WORKSHOPS
We are currently working with Refinitiv HR to determine possible on-site workshops and training opportunities. Future Refinitiv-specific events will take place at our Eagan office location, the Eagan Wescott Library, or the Eagan Community Center.
This page will update as soon as details have been confirmed. (Last updated on Friday, Jan. 17th 2020)

WELCOME
Former Refinitiv
Employees
The MN Job Partners Team recognizes that this may be a challenging and complicated moment for those impacted by the layoffs at Refinitive. Our thoughts are with you. There are services available to those who are losing their jobs, free of charge, to help you through this transition, including the Dislocated Worker Program.
We will be here as long as you need; we are committed to supporting you.
Enrollment: The First Step
Participation in our program begins with attending a registration session. These sessions are facilitated by friendly, experienced staff who will begin by explaining the Dislocated Worker Program to you. Next, you will complete your application, with the facilitator walking you through the paperwork & answering any questions you may have.
After attending an enrollment session, you will be contacted by your counselor to arrange a one-on-one session at our offices. In this meeting with your counselor, you will establish a relationship and share your story. This meeting is all about YOU: your education, your work history, your family, health, finances - you want to give your counselor your full history so they can best help you determine a plan to achieve your goals. At the completion of this meeting, you are enrolled & can start taking advantage of our program's benefits!
After meeting with your counselor, you will start working on your action steps - the items in your individual employment plan (IEP) that require your attention. Training, résumé assistance, workshops, interview preparation, and financial support are just a few features we can assist you with. You and your counselor will monitor your progress toward reaching your goals, and adjust your IEP as necessary.
NOW HIRING:
Success By The Numbers
A former participant after a recent interview & job offer:
“They were so very impressed with all the efforts I had gone through to keep up in the industry with my conference attendance and to enhance & grow my computer skills as a designer. I CANNOT thank you and Minnesota Job Partners enough for the priceless offerings you have given me. You completely gave me an edge above the rest and I will be much more successful in this job because of it...You really have a SOLID program that honestly has meant so much to me (and so many others.) At a rough time when it was a struggle to get on my feet, I feel I had an organization and the government behind me that wanted me to succeed and offered me the financial, people and tangible resources to build my confidence and keep me relevant. And it showed in my interviews! I am really grateful for my job and it is a great new home."
