Minnesota Job Skills Partnership (MJSP) Program

Minnesota Job Skills Partnership Board

The Minnesota Jobs Skills Partnership (MJSP) Board awards grants, via the MJSP Program, to help Minnesota businesses partner with educational institutions in developing employee training. In addition to that program, the MJSP Board also has statutory authority over the state and federal Dislocated Worker Program which provides training and services to laid-off Minnesota workers who meet specific eligibility requirements. The MJSP Board consists of 12 directors, per Minn Stat. § 116L.03. The Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) provides administrative support to the Board.

See below for Calendar of Events and Board Members.

CALENDAR OF EVENTS

All MJSP meetings are open to the public. For meetings held at DEED, no reservations are needed; however, when arriving, visitors should check-in with the DEED receptionist desk on the skyway level.
