The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) is partnering with Minnesota businesses to support workers and encourage job seekers to develop skills for their careers.
According to a press release, DEED has developed the Minnesota Jobs Skills Partnership (MJSP) which brings together businesses, educational institutions and nonprofit organizations.
Together, they train or retrain workers, expand work opportunities and keep high-quality jobs in the state, the press release stated.
St. Cloud-based Microbiologics and St. Cloud State University received a MJSP grant in November 2019 for Lean Transformation training.
“The development of company-wide training through this grant is helping our employees grow valuable skills while also allowing us to streamline our processes and procedures to ensure a quality product, interconnected culture and increased sales,” Tonya Inselman, employee engagement manager at Microbiologics, said.
Microbiologics operations continued during the COVID-19 pandemic, with about half their employees working remotely.
