History & Mission

In 2019, Minnesota Training Partnership (MTP) was incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit organization by the leadership of the Minnesota AFL-CIO.   The Minnesota AFL-CIO serves 300,000+ members of affiliated unions, while belonging to the national AFL-CIO which unites 12.5 million working people of every race and ethnicity.   

Our mission is to advance equity by strengthening the pipeline of underserved populations into stable job opportunities, and upgrading incumbent worker skills.  

MTP helps  workers, unions and employers collaborate, and is uniquely positioned as the only union workforce development intermediary agency in the state.  MTP is an equal opportunity employer and program provider.
