Workforce Preparation Resources
Targeted Jobs
Workforce Development, Inc. (WDI) offers a list of Targeted Jobs that contains information about occupations, their median annual wages, their educational requirements, and any site-based training opportunities available for them. We use this list to help guide our workforce preparation efforts across Southeast Minnesota. Job seekers can find employment opportunities that are in demand and meet their background and goals.
The list includes high-growth, high-demand jobs that pay a median wage of at least $11 per hour or have the career advancement potential to make such wages. Contact the nearest WDI office to meet one-on-one with a Career Planner and learn more about opportunities in Southeast Minnesota.
