History and Development of the Anukey Employment Services

The creation of Employment Services began as a joint effort between the Ramsey County Financial Division and the American Indian community to address the high rate of American Indian families recieving MFIP benefits.  The Anukey Partnership guides the continued and evolving work of the Anukey Employment Services Program which is designed to help families develop their job readiness and life skills to move toward economic self sufficiency.

Employment Services are provided through a contract with Ramsey County Workforce Solutions.
