The work you'll do is more than just a job.

At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation does not sponsor applicants for work visas or Optional Practical Training Extensions for STEM Students. Individuals must be legally authorized to work in the US at the start of employment.

MnDOT's Seeds Program provides paid, college-level student worker positions to highly motivated students. The program is designed to equip and train qualified participants for potential full-time employment with the agency upon graduation.

While the program has a strong commitment to fostering a workforce that reflects the diverse communities we serve—including but not limited to students from minority backgrounds, recently separated veterans, students with disabilities, women in STEM or non-traditional fields, and students who are economically disadvantaged—we welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
