MnDOT Workforce Development Research and Engagement

Summary

The Workforce Development and Research Lab at the University of Minnesota's Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development provides the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) assistance by engaging in workforce development research, scenario planning, and advising to the Workforce Development Council. All activities adopt a collaborative approach with agency subject matter experts and representatives from relevant employee and stakeholder groups to consider appropriate recommendations, outcomes, and implementation plans. Three of the project's tasks run concurrently, with intermediate timelines to complete research, make recommendations, and provide advisory-level guidance through memos, presentations, and meeting attendance and participation.
