Lunch & Learns

MN APSE Job Developer Connection

Join Minnesota APSE for our bimonthly Lunch & Learn! Every other month, we are joined by guests who will lead a conversation on topics relevant to Minnesota APSE members and colleagues in the field. Our goal in hosting virtual discussions each month is to provide tips and tricks that will advance Employment First priorities and grow your employment resources.

This is a great opportunity for professional development at no cost to you or your staff. Managers – send your staff and our subject matter experts will provide the training!

Lunch & Learns are free to attend and occur on the third Thursday of every other month from 12 to 1 p.m. 

Accommodations are available by request. To allow sufficient time for coordination, please submit requests to mnapse@gmail.com a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the scheduled event.
