*On-Campus appointments? These take place in a computer classroom with projector, with one day's notice minimum.
INDIVIDUAL ONLINE MEETINGS
You are encouraged to reach out to set individual online meetings for in-depth assistance. We have resources to help, like this one:
Our 5th annual Career and College Transfer Fair was canceled on-campus in April. Instead, we have a virtual PDF document, at www.dctc.edu/jobfairs/jobs-transfer/, showcasing 75+ Exhibitors. Use the 35-pages to connect with 50+ Employers, 3 Unions, and nearly 20 Colleges and Universities with details on types of opportunities, recruitment site web links, and recruiters’ contact emails.
Local Area Workforce Resources
Many employers have greater hiring needs at this time and a useful resource for Minnesota job openings is CareerForceMN.com. Dakota County workforce staff are compiling information about companies who are hiring.
For Unemployment Insurance, the best place to go is https://www.uimn.org/applicants/index.jsp. Applying online is the best option, rather than phone calling. There is a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document available on the site. Independent contractors and self-employed individuals are now receiving Pandemic Unemployment Assistance.
For questions other than UI benefits, contact Dakota-Scott County CareerForce Centers who have Resource Room staff answering calls. The West St. Paul number is 651-554-5955; Burnsville’s is 952-703-3100; and Shakopee’s is 952-496-8686.
Have you recently been laid off? Get help with your job search, industry credentials and certificates from training institutions across the state, and career supports to help obtain your next job. To learn more about Goodwill-Easter Seals Dislocated Worker programs, email or call Avery at abardell@gesmn.org or 612-286-8597.
