Health Care Month 2022

Governor Walz proclaimed January 2022 as Health Care Month. Health care is a critically important industry, crucial to not only the health and wellbeing of all Minnesotans but also to the strength of Minnesota's economy.

Many entry-level health care jobs can be started with no previous experience due to many employers providing on the job training. There is projected long-term demand, as well as high current demand for health care workers.
