VA program offers education and training for Veterans
Veterans who lost jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic are being offered education and training for a variety of high-demand jobs through the Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program (VRRAP). The VRRAP is a program of the Veterans Administration.
Qualifying Veterans can receive up to 12 months of tuition and fees along with a monthly housing allowance.
To be eligible for VRRAP, Veterans must be between 22 and 66 years of age, unemployed due to COVID-19, able to work, and not eligible for education or unemployment benefits.
The program will stop accepting new VRRAP enrollments on December 11, 2022 — or when it reaches either the funding or participant limit, whichever comes first.

Job Searching and Labor Market Information websites are functional after service outage
BISMARCK, N.D. – Two websites that serve Job Service North Dakota are back online after service issues with Geographic Solutions, Inc. (GSI), an external website vendor. NDworkforceConnection.com, which is the state’s searchable job database, and NDLMI.com, which houses Labor Market Information, are again operational.
Employers encouraged to post jobs to NLx at no cost
North Dakota employers are encouraged to post job openings free of charge at the National Labor Exchange, (NLx) usnlx.com. Job Service North Dakota's job bank, located at ndworkforceconnection.com is still out of service due to an issue crippling the vendor which operates employment-related websites for a number of states.
the NLx collects and distributes job openings exclusively found on state job banks, corporate career websites and federal government job sites. It currently lists over 4 million positions daily.
Through Friday, July 15, employers can directly post their jobs to the NLx at no cost. These positions will remain online for up to 30 days. (Note: it may take up to 24 hours for job postings to be processed and become visible.)
Job seekers are also encouraged to utilize NLx for their search. Currently, all 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, and Guam have agreements with the NLx, and there is no cost to users.
Job Searching and Labor Market Information sites offline
UPDATE 7/7/22 - Employers and job seekers are encouraged to post/search for jobs at National Labor Exchange while NDwokforceConnection remains down. Job Service has also set up a temporary workaround enabling employers and job seekers to view available jobs by region at www.jobsnd.com/jobs.
BISMARCK, N.D. – Two websites that serve Job Service North Dakota are offline due to a vendor service issue. NDworkforceConnection.com, which is the state’s searchable job database, and NDLMI.com, which houses Labor Market Information, are affected by the outage.
Unemployment claims are not affected, and the agency’s home page, jobsnd.com, remains active and accessible. Unemployment Claimants should continue to report work search activities on the North Dakota UIICE website, https://apps.nd.gov/jsnd/uiiaclaims/login.htm.

Job Service and NDDoH Websites now accessible in 16 languages
As part of a pilot program with North Dakota Information Technology, the websites for both Job Service North Dakota and the North Dakota Department of Health are now accessible in 16 languages. The capability launched in early June at www.jobsnd.com and health.nd.gov.
“This will allow thousands of people easier access to and understanding of our services,” said Pat Bertagnolli, Job Service Executive Director. “We have large populations of New Americans across the state and they’re a vital part of our workforce. Offering easier accessibility to everyone allows us to better serve all North Dakotans and gives us a leg up as far as recruiting.”
“NDDoH is pleased to be part of the website translation pilot,” said Dr. Nizar Wehbi, North Dakota State Health Officer. “The ability for residents who either speak English as a second language or do not speak English to be able to easily access public health information that they understand is an important breakthrough for our website.”
Internet viewers can select their preferred language from a dropdown at the top of any page. The initial offerings are English, Arabic, Basque, Bosnian, Chinese, French, Hindi, Hmong, Kurdish, Nepali, Pashto, Punjabi, Somali, Spanish, Swahili and Vietnamese. More languages, and other state agency websites are expected to be added.
