City of Duluth Workforce Development (DWD) has been serving the Duluth community since 1968 with quality employment and training services. As a partner in CareerForce, we are a key part of Minnesota’s career development and talent matching resource offering a variety of programs and services to career seekers and employers.
Duluth Workforce Development offers a number of employment, job training, and career development programs for individuals who are out of work or who have suffered job loss for a variety of reasons, or are underemployed. Our Youth Employment Services (YES) Duluth program provides support for education, career exploration, and employment for youth and young adults 14-24 years of age who live in Duluth.
DWD also convenes the Duluth Workforce Development Board and multiple board committees. Our current focus is on growing apprenticeship opportunities in healthcare and other key industries across Northeast Minnesota.
