• I have a custom nutrition bar business in Borup, Minnesota with 19 employees, including my remote web site designer
• Business is growing because we’ve had some great reviews and orders are coming in from all over the country
• Borup is 34 miles from Fargo so for hiring, I’m competing with employers there

GoodForYouBars.com: The Challenge
• Because we work with online orders and custom recipes, I need people with good literacy, numeracy and technology skills
• Sometimes people who are high school graduates can’t do the work
• What’s an appropriate starting wage?• Should I relocate my plant or increase wages so I can build a loyal workforce?

My Business Services Specialist
• I met with Steve Retzer, DEED’s business services specialist in our region
• I showed him our plant and he asked lots of great questions about our business
• Steve and I talked about my hiring challenges and together we looked at the employment situation in the area

Regional Economic Development
• I was asked to work on a SWOT analysis for an economic development plan
• The plan is a blueprint for talent development in regional economies so it will help meet my needs for a well‐educated workforce
• My business needs aren’t all that different from other employers in our area
