Koochiching County


Education/Workforce/Leading Employers

The hearty, hardworking Voyageurs of the past had nothing on the skilled and dedicated workforce you'll find today in Koochiching County. Residents living in "Border Country," near the United State's border with Canada, possess the same pioneering spirit as their predecessors.

The region has a competitive advantage in terms of a highly skilled and eager labor force, low rate of absenteeism, training opportunities and high labor force participation.
