Minneapolis
welcome
to
wixk
Monique,
my
colleagues
at
the
City
of
Minneapolis
Public
Works,
and
also
welcome
to
Sister
Monique
I
want
to
start
by
su
simple
questions.
Introduce
yourself
and
help
us
understand
what
is
the
Department
of
Public
Works
and
what's
happening
now
in
public
works
right
now,.
D
Yes,
thank
you,
Michael
for
having
me
I'm
excited
to
share
this
information.
My
name
is
Monique
fish
and
I
am
the
workforce
coordinator
for
our
public
works
department,
which
is
the
largest
apartment
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
with
nine
divisions
and
over
a
thousand
employees,
and
we
take
care
of
everything
from
our
drinking
water
streets,
Paving,
garbage
traffic
signs
and
signals
to
our
surface
water.
D
So
all
the
areas
that
we
are
hiring
for
right
now
include
our
Fleet
Services,
Solid,
Waste
and
Recycling
Transportation
maintenance
and
repair
traffic
and
parking
services
and
surface
water
and
sewer.
All
of
these
are
what
we're
here
to
talk
about
today
with
all
of
you
in
the
community
about
the
multiple
vacancies
that
we
have
open
for
application
now,.
C
E
C
D
Yeah,
so
we
are
looking
for
people
at
all
levels
of
experience
from
entry
level
to
experience,
so
everybody
can
find
a
place
with
us
here.
The
most
important
part
is
a
good
attitude
and
the
ability
to
learn
and
work
well
with
others.
C
D
Yes,
there
are
a
variety
of
positions
open
for
application
right
now
in
public
works,
three
of
them
that
I
would
like
to
focus
on.
Are
our
Public
Works
service
worker
trainee?
That
is
a
12-month
trainee
program
that
helps
new
employees,
get
the
training
and
experience
that
that
need
for
a
successful
career
with
us
in
public
works.
D
They
perform
maintenance
activities,
they
learn
how
to
drive
and
operate
equipment,
and
we
support
the
trainees
in
obtaining
their
commercial
driver's
license
a
Class,
B
learning
how
to
plow
and
how
to
safely
operate
equipment,
and
you
don't
have
to
have
any
previous
experience
for
that
training
position.
We
also
have
a
service
worker
Public,
Works
service
worker.
One
position
is
for
people
who
have
experience.
D
These
are
jobs
for
people
who
have
a
commercial
driver's
license,
Class
B,
and
they
also
perform
those
maintenance
activities,
drive
and
operate,
equip
treatment
to
support
the
city
with
its
construction
and
maintenance
activities.
Our
third
trainee
position
is
auto
mechanic,
trainee
position,
and
this
is
a
full-time
paid
position,
as
well
as
the
others
that
splits
their
time
between
Technical
College
at
St,
Paul,
College
and
working
in
one
of
our
mechanic
shops.
So
tuition
is
covered
by
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
no
previous
experience
is
needed
for
that
position
as
well.
D
All
of
these
positions
do
for
the
trainee
positions
require
a
valid
driver's
license
and
the
ability
to
obtain
a
commercial
driver's
license,
and
we
do
support
them
with
that
as
well.
E
D
Yes,
great
question:
if
you
like
to
work
outside
on
a
job
that
has
variety,
this
is
for
you.
These
positions
have
mostly
outdoor
working
environments,
working
in
all
weather
elements.
So
since
we
are
taking
care
of
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
most
of
our
work
sites
are
located
in
Minneapolis
or
just
outside
of
the
city
limits,
and
that's
really
nice,
because
90
of
our
locations
are
on
trouble.
Public
transit
lines.
D
Yes,
absolutely
so
these
Public
Works
service
worker
trainee
positions
is
a
12
month.
Long
training
position
for
applicants.
We
have
hired
on
to
our
Public
Works
team.
Our
mechanic
automatic,
auto
mechanic
training
position
is
also
the
same
applicants.
We
have
hired
into
our
Public
Works
department
and
they
include
college
courses
and
Hands-On
work
in
our
shops,
so
the
time
would
be
split
between
those,
and
that
is
a
longer
training
process,
approximately
three
years
so
that
they
can
complete
their
college
courses
for
both
of
these
trainee
positions.
D
We
provide
training,
resources
and
equipment
to
get
them
to
the
next
step
in
their
career,
and
once
you
complete
that
trainee
program,
you'll
automatically
be
promoted
and
don't
have
to
reapply
for
future
steps.
E
E
E
E
C
Monique,
it's
my
understanding
that
this
past
winter
or
public
works
department
had
a
similar
recruitment
effort.
Can
you
help
us
understand
what
was
the
result
of
that
effort
to
get
people
to
consider
working
for
your
team
and
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
Public
Works
Department.
D
Yes,
we
did
just
have
a
recent
cycle
that
we
completed
welcoming
to
our
Public
Works
team.
We
actually
hired
50
people
to
start
with
us
this
spring
and
we're
still
looking
for
more
people
to
come
and
join
our
Public
Works
team.
C
Monique,
if
people
who
are
listening
to
us
right
now
on
air
and
say,
hey
I'm
interested
in
these
opportunities,
I
want
to
get

they,

Yeah.
D
Yes,

should
apply
soon.

our
