Commissioner Steve Grove of the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) has announced the launch of the #GoodJobsNow campaign.

The campaign is a partnership with Rick Trontvet from Marvin Windows in Warroad and Traci Tapani from Wyoming Machine in Stacy. The campaign is an effort to help employers and future employees locate one another.

Many Minnesota businesses have job openings that can be filled immediately. However, employers are reporting that they are having a hard time finding the employees they need. 

"Today, I'm proud to launch the #GoodJobsNow campaign, a new tool to help Minnesota job seekers by connecting them directly with employers," Grove said in a press release. "Right now, as many Minnesotans face uncertainty, DEED is working to provide job seekers with job opportunities and career training resources through virtual CareerForce services, our regularly updated 30 Jobs in Demand list, the Dislocated Worker Program and now the #GoodJobsNow visualization."

Rick Trontvet, Marvin senior vice president of Human Resources, said the department is thankful for the partnership with DEED to find employees through this new and innovative tool. 

"We know that there is a talented workforce in Minnesota, and we are passionate about the impactful work and variety of opportunities available at Marvin," Trontvet said.
