Dislocated Worker Programs

Page Content

​The Dislocated Worker Program is an employment and training program to help workers who have been laid off through no fault of their own (or have been notified that a layoff is pending) find new jobs as quickly as possible. 

Services are custom tailored to meet an individual worker's specific needs. Working one-on-one with a counselor you'll develop a plan for employment.

You can submit the Employment and Training Application in three ways.​

1.  Complete and sign electronically

If you are able to complete and sign the application electronically, email your completed application to careerforce.westsaintpaul@state.mn.us or careerforce.burnsville@state.mn.us.  

Ability to sign the application electronically may depend on your device and what version of Adobe you are using.  If you're having difficulty signing, try clicking on Tools, select Certificates and click on Digitally Sign.  If that doesn't work, feel free to submit using option two.
