At Minnesota Training Partnership (MTP), we believe progress, equity, and opportunity are possible only when every worker has a fair chance to thrive. Our commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to connecting underserved and underrepresented communities to good union jobs that sustain families and strengthen communities.
Minnesota Training Partnership works with unions, employers, community-based agencies, labor-focused organizations, and educators to build inclusive training and apprenticeship pathways that reflect the diversity of Minnesota’s workforce. Rooted in the values of solidarity, dignity, and equity, we ensure all workers have access to safe, fair, and welcoming workplaces. By removing barriers and expanding opportunity, we help people enter and advance in high-quality careers that strengthen Minnesota’s economy. Together, we are building a stronger labor movement—and a stronger Minnesota—where everyone belongs and every worker matters. We're better when we work together.
