Great work with a Great State

"There is something incredible about knowing your work is positively impacting those around you. That feeling of seeing a project go from planning to reality, resulting in better care for our seniors, better roads and bridges, better quality of life. With over fifty thousand employees at more than one hundred agencies, boards, and commissions, our work at the State of Minnesota is making a difference for every person who calls this great state home. The only missing piece is... well... You. Join us on Saturday, October 29th as the State of Minnesota hosts the first ever state-wide government career fair. We will have representatives to connect you with job openings in a wide variety of career fields. From accounting to zoology - we have a job for you. Come meet state leaders, take a professional headshot, or even get your resume reviewed. With hundreds of jobs open in nearly every corner of the state, we are looking to bring new voices into state government. Fresh perspectives from people who are excited about making a difference in their community. So what are you waiting for? On October 29th, stop by the State of Minnesota Career fair, open from 10 am to 4 pm at the Minnesota Senate Office Building in St. Paul, just off the green line. Learn more at mn.gov/careers.

Did you Know? SSB has Tech Training for Seniors

Feeling not-so-smart about smartphones? Wondering what all that twittering is about? Finding that you're just not using your computer as much because it's too hard to see? SSB's Senior Services team provides technology training for Minnesota seniors who are losing vision. We have trainers who just work with seniors. They're friendly. They're patient. They don't make assumptions about what you know or don't know. If you, or a senior in your life would like to know more about living independently with vision loss, including learning more about tech, give us a call at 651-539-2300, and ask to talk with the senior services counselor serving your area.

State Services for the Blind provides tools and training for employment, living independently, and accessing print. We assist Minnesotans who are blind, DeafBlind, experiencing vision loss, or have difficulty accessing the printed word.
