Celebrating 40 years in workforce development, the Northeast Minnesota Office of Job Training is a regional unit of government established under a joint powers agreement among the seven counties of Northeast Minnesota. It is the grant recipient and administrative entity of federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funds, state and county grants as well as private donations.

The Office of Job Training staff provide services on-site at local community and technical colleges as well as in K12 school districts throughout the region and are available to travel to any site where career guidance is needed. Temporary offices may also be opened when special projects are needed.
