Webinar: Resources for Roadway Maintenance Careers in Minnesota
Tuesday, July 9, 2024, 9:00–9:45 am
Virtual
About the Webinar
Recruiting and retaining transportation maintenance workers is an ongoing and increasing challenge. A current project sponsored by the Minnesota Local Road Research Board seeks to address this by providing easily accessible tools that local agencies can use to help recruit and retain maintenance professionals.
A new website—MNTransportationCareers.com—will launch on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, and serve as a portal for jobseekers, public works managers, human resources departments, employment counselors, and others. It will include easily accessible and sharable videos, brochures, a training guide, job board, case studies, and other resources.
Join us for this webinar hosted by project leaders to introduce and discuss this new resource.
