People with Disabilities

Reasonable accommodations are provided to people with disabilities in all aspects of state employment, consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act and state law.

Reasonable accommodation requests can be made either orally or in writing. A family member, friend, health professional, or other representative may request a reasonable accommodation on your behalf. The request must be made for a reason related to a disability. 

To request a reasonable accommodation for the job application or hiring process with the state of Minnesota, contact the Job Information Line. Please indicate what assistance is needed.

We want to make sure that you have an equal opportunity to join our diverse team.

During our application process, the State of Minnesota will ask you about your gender, race, disability or veteran status in an effort to monitor our progress towards equal opportunity for everyone. You don't have to answer these questions. But know that if you do, you will be considered for employment based on your job qualifications without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, familial status, disability, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, age or veteran status. 

We will use your responses to ensure that the application and hiring process is fair and equitable.

The Connect 700 Hour On-the-Job Training Program is an alternative procedure for candidates whose disabilities may make it difficult for a candidate to demonstrate his or her job-related abilities through the standard hiring and selection process.

The program provides an opportunity to assess the ability of qualified individuals to perform a specific job to which the applicant has applied, with or without accommodations, by observing the individual during an on-the-job work experience of up to 700 hours.

For more information about the 700 Hour On-the-Job Training Program, contact your agency Human Resources Office or the State Director for Equal Opportunity.

Minnesota Management and Budget's Enterprise Human Resources staff are happy to assist you with the online application system and answer general questions about state employment.
