Minnesota Transportation Career Videos

April 2, 2024 by Julie Swiler

Local agencies in Minnesota are facing a growing workforce shortage, and many are struggling to hire and retain enough qualified staff.

To help local agencies recruit workers, the LRRB worked with students with Century College’s Narrative Video Production degree program to produce a suite of videos to build awareness of exciting transportation career opportunities for students.

The suite includes:

  • Three-minute videos highlighting bridge inspection, road maintenance, environmental stewardship, and planning jobs
  • 30-second social media clips featuring testimonials and workers in the field
  • One-hour cable news segments interviewing local transportation leaders

Local agencies, schools, and employment organizations are encouraged to use these free resources in their recruitment efforts. The videos can be shared through your communications channels (on your website, social media, and newsletters) and used to engage with students (during career fairs, presentations, and student visits).

The videos are available on LRRB’s YouTube Playlist and can be downloaded through LRRB’s Google Drive.
