In the dynamic economic landscape of Minnesota, securing a promising career can be transformative. CAIRO’s workforce development programs are designed to open doors to new opportunities, equipping adults and youth with the skills necessary to thrive in today’s competitive job market.

For many adults, especially those from communities of color and low-income backgrounds, the journey to a fulfilling career can be fraught with obstacles. CAIRO addresses these challenges head-on by offering comprehensive career training programs tailored to the needs of the modern workforce. From resume building workshops to certification courses in high-demand fields like IT, healthcare, and skilled trades, our programs are structured to provide practical skills and industry-recognized credentials.

Youth in Minnesota face their own unique set of challenges as they transition from education to employment. CAIRO’s Youth Career Pathways program aims to bridge this gap by providing high school and college students with internship opportunities, mentorship, and career planning services. By connecting young people with professionals in their desired fields and offering hands-on experience, we help them build a solid foundation for their future careers.

A cornerstone of our success in workforce development is our collaboration with local businesses, educational institutions, and community organizations. These partnerships not only enhance the relevance and effectiveness of our training programs but also ensure that program participants have access to job placements and career advancement opportunities.

Our programs have a proven track record of success. Take the story of Asha*, a single mother who transitioned from a minimum wage job to a certified nursing assistant after completing our healthcare training program, or Jamal*, a high school graduate who secured an apprenticeship in a marketing company through our youth pathways initiative. These stories highlight the life-changing impact of tailored workforce development.

CAIRO’s workforce development programs have proven to be lifelines to individuals seeking to improve their lives and the lives of their families. In Minnesota, we’re committed to continuing our efforts to expand and adapt these programs to meet the evolving needs of our community and the economy.
