CTS Webinar: Expanding the Transportation Workforce

About the Event

Recruiting and retaining transportation maintenance workers is an ongoing and increasing challenge. A recently completed project sponsored by the Minnesota Local Road Research Board seeks to address this by providing easily accessible tools that local agencies can use to help recruit and retain maintenance professionals.

A new website—MNTransportationCareers.com—serves as a portal for job seekers, public works managers, human resources departments, employment counselors, and others. It includes easily accessible and sharable videos, brochures, a training guide, job board, case studies, and other resources.  

This webinar discussed the project background and scope and highlighted this new resource. It was held in conjunction with a meeting of the CTS Education and Engagement Council.
