How to ApplyHere are some important tips for our application process:
  1. Our 'Minimum Qualifications' are firm, not flexible. Your resume should clearly demonstrate how you meet both the minimum and preferred qualifications in plain language.
  2. Chronological resumes are the simplest format to measure and assess things like: qualifications, time in position, etc. Experience-based resumes (lacking the timeline) do not allow for equitable comparison.
  3. Check the Career Portal for application status and note that review of resumes may occur after the posting window closes. Remember when a job posting is removed from our website it means we're no longer accepting new applications.
Interested in great benefits?There are many benefits to working with the State of Minnesota. Here are some of the reasons that 35,000 Minnesotans have decided to make their careers in government service:
The following benefits are available to any state employee whose appointment is at least six months long, whether temporary or permanent. 
  • Paid Time Off. Receive a minimum of 13 days of paid vacation, 13 days of sick time, and 12 paid holidays. We do not have a "use-it-or-lose-it" policy and you are permitted to hold up to 275 hours in your vacation bank. Depending upon your employment plan, you may be able to use vacation as deferred compensation.
  • Low-Cost Health Insurance. Family medical premiums are only $271 per month, while individual coverage is $40 per month. Low out of pocket maximum deductibles are available depending on your selected plan.
  • Retirement Plan. A defined benefit pension, which vests for life after 3 years of service, is available to nearly all employees. Read more about our General Employee Retirement Plan.
  • Pre-Tax Benefits. We offer many pre-tax benefits for medical and dental expenses, transit, dependent care and other tax-advantaged programs. Pre-Tax benefits are deductions that lower your taxable wages.

PLEASE READ | EVENT REDESIGNED & POSTPONEMENT
In showing respect for Black Milwaukee, our Board of Directors decided to cancel Milwaukee Black Street Days due to some complications in the planning.  Primarily due to another event in the same area, "Heal The Hood" which unfortunately our planning committee just recently learned about.  The in-person Milwaukee Black Wall Street Days event has been canceled until further notice.   Due to our limited staff and other upcoming events in the country,  our next event in Milwaukee is MLK NOW 2025, stay posted. 

Instead, we welcome all the guests to join us for our first-ever Virtualthon, May 27th, on Memorial Day - Remembering and Rebuilding Black Wall Streets.  This online virtual show will focus on the history of Black Wall Street Days across the United States, not just in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which occurred on May 31, 1921, which is why the month of May is associated with Black Wall Street, the legendary massacre of Blacks in the Greenwood District, and the destruction of many vibrant Black communities across America.  

Do you know a Minnesota Black Father who deserves recognition for their contributions to society? Please email us with your suggestions [email protected].

How to ApplyHere are some important tips for our application process:
  1. Our 'Minimum Qualifications' are firm, not flexible. Your resume should clearly demonstrate how you meet both the minimum and preferred qualifications in plain language.
  2. Chronological resumes are the simplest format to measure and assess things like: qualifications, time in position, etc. Experience-based resumes (lacking the timeline) do not allow for equitable comparison.
  3. Check the Career Portal for application status and note that review of resumes may occur after the posting window closes. Remember when a job posting is removed from our website it means we're no longer accepting new applications.
