ST. PAUL, MN – Joined by community advocates and state hiring leaders, Governor Mark Dayton today announced the re-launch of the Connect 700 and the Supported Worker programs, two state hiring initiatives aimed at removing barriers and creating opportunities for Minnesotans with disabilities. This effort supports Governor Dayton’s 2014 executive order (PDF) directing state agencies to increase employment for people with disabilities to at least seven percent by August 2018.
