    Powering Workforce Success: Leveraging Industry Sector Partnerships - April 7, 2025

    This session explored how industry sector partnerships drive workforce development and business success. Employers participating in these partnerships have gained a competitive edge by shaping training programs to align with industry needs, reducing onboarding time and boosting productivity. They also have accessed collaborative funding opportunities, including grants and shared resources, making workforce development more scalable and cost-effective. These partnerships have strengthened community ties, enhanced local economic impact, and have built an employer’s reputation as a proactive contributor to workforce growth—ultimately improving recruitment and retention efforts.

    Strategies for Developing a Fair Chance Workforce - March 5, 2025

    More than 100,000 Minnesotans are currently under some form of community supervision, and approximately 1,000 individuals are expected to return to their communities from prison this year. At the same time, employers in Minnesota are facing increasing challenges in meeting the workforce demands of the future. This creates a complex dynamic for employers, as a growing number of job seekers with criminal records are actively looking for employment opportunities across the state. DEED's Workforce Strategy Consultants heard about legal compliance and how to minimize risks of those with a criminal background, successful hiring strategies, and the rewards of hiring fair chance workers.

    DEIAB: More Than Just an Acronym - February 7, 2024

    We're all familiar with DEIAB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Belonging) and its importance for a successful workplace culture. However, in today's environment, is this considered nothing more than a highly used acronym due to all talk and no action? How can employers and stakeholders in this space go from conversations to actions behind their words? Do we have a full understanding of DEIAB? Should DEIAB focus beyond race & ethnicity and include multigeneration and economic barriers? Is the concept of DEIAB overused and played out?

    Biases, Microaggressions, and Code Switching - February 1, 2023

    Our workforce today is more diverse than ever. Although there are efforts to welcome diversity in the workplace, BIPOC and other underrepresented groups continue to experience biases, inequities, and microaggressions in the workplace. Those who are able to navigate often find themselves having to code-switch to assimilate.

    During this webinar, we took a more in-depth look at biases and microaggressions as they relate to the workforce and how to recognize and respond. We also looked at the phenomenon of code-switching. Why is this still necessary in today's diverse workforce? What is the cost of code-switching for those affected? Why do some feel the need to do this to be taken seriously?

    Key highlight

    The question posed: What key advice would you give to businesses? Where should they start? What are the easy wins, so to speak?

    Panelist Carl Crawford's response:

    • Reach out to DEED for data assistance or do a deep dive with IDI (Intercultural Development Inventory). Understand your company. Everybody has a narrative, but data doesn't lie, the truth will be there.
    • Understand the subculture within your business and outside of your business. Who you are in the community has a big difference and a big impact.
    • Build relationships with underserved communities to build your future workforce. How do you show up to those communities that are underrepresented, when do you show up? All of that has an impact. Are you supporting the little league baseball team in your community? Do they know who you are, and more importantly that you care?
    • Employees today are savvy – if you are not going to be about them, they are not going to be about you.

    Building Bridges: DEI as an Effective Recruitment, Retention & Sustainability Strategy: American Indian Workforce - November 2, 2022

    Nearly 80,000 Minnesotans identify as American Indian or Alaska Natives, with seven Ojibwa tribal nations and four Dakota tribal nations located in our great state. In addition, Minnesota has urban communities that are home to native people and cultures. In fact, the Phillips neighborhood of Minneapolis has one of the highest percentages of population who identify as American Indian and Alaska Native of any community in the U.S. The Native cultures of Minnesota are rich with cultural, spiritual, and geographic variety. Celebrating and championing this uniqueness within our organizational cultures and operations is an important step in growing healthy and sustainable communities.

    This was an engaging discussion around strategies that support and strengthen our American Indian Workforce. We explored resources available on a state and local level, and we provided opportunities to connect with community builders who are already invested in our Native communities and workforce. We spoke with organizations that are currently succeeding at building meaningful connections between our Indigenous and non-Native neighbors, and who are doing the work to strengthen and sustain these valuable relationships. Hear from our panel of subject matter experts as they offer insight and perspective on how DEI strategies not only benefit us as employers but provide a roadmap of sustainability for our local economies and communities as well.
