What is MnCARRS?
MnCARRS is a community partnership composed of Mn/DOT employees and community leaders representing minority communities, women, veterans and people with disabilities.
The group was created to build recruitment partnerships between Mn/DOT and communities underrepresented in Mn/DOT’s workforce to assist the agency in recruiting and retaining qualified candidates from a variety of backgrounds.
MnCARRS members serve as recruiters within their own communities for Mn/DOT jobs. Since the group formed, members have attended career fairs, job information events and mock interview sessions at various locations. The group is involved in the entire continuum from recruitment—to selection—to mentoring individuals on the job after they are hired
