Organization Mission: Minnesota Governor creates Office of Career and Business Opportunity October 14, 2015: Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton announced on Sunday, October 11, 2015, that he has created a new Office of Career and Business Opportunity, according to the Governor’s Office. The office is scheduled to be located at the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. ““This is a first and important step in addressing the troubling economic disparities facing people of color in Minnesota,” Dayton said in a statement. “We cannot afford to admire or ignore these problems any longer. It is time now to take action to improve the lives and economic futures of all Minnesotans.” “The new Office of Career and Business Opportunity will be led by a director and overseen by a senior level staff member who will be a member [of the] Commissioner’s senior leadership team,” according to a statement from the Governor’s Office. “This will ensure that the mission of the Office is a high priority for DEED and the Dayton Administration, and that the work is integrated in the overall organization. The Office will identify and help break down barriers to employment and business opportunities for communities of color across Minnesota. The search to fill these two positions will begin immediately.”

About Beam
  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
