Want to Get to Work in Less Than Ten Minutes? Welcome to Jamestown, North Dakota!

Sick and tired of that long commute? Getting frustrated looking at career search engines that post nothing but low-paying jobs?

With all of the employment opportunities in Jamestown, it’s a wonder we don’t call the place Jobstown.

From major employers to locally owned businesses, we might just be one of the country's best-kept secrets when it comes to offering high-paying career opportunities, thanks to the growth of our North Dakota community.

There’s no better time than September’s Workforce Development Month to tell you more about what our growing area has to offer!

Stress at the Desk

When it comes to stress in the workplace, even the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is taking notice. According to statistics listed on their website:

• Around 65% of American workers named work as a very significant or somewhat significant source of stress 
• 83% of U.S. workers suffer from work-related stress
• 54% of workers report that work stress affects their home life

Cultivating a highly skilled and happy workforce is key to the vitality of our economy. By doing so, we can offer a better quality of life for our residents.

Like a Norman Rockwell Painting

We might be biased, but we think it’s hard to find a town as charming as ours. Nestled between the Jamestown River and the Pipestem River, we enjoy clean air, safe streets, and short commutes.

Here, the American Dream of owning your own home, enjoying a quiet neighborhood, having a stable job, and watching your kids bicycle safely down the street is alive and well.

We also offer an excellent public and private school system with a high school completion rate of 91%, thanks to class sizes where students get personal attention.

Can’t Stop Our TRAIN!

One of the ways we cultivate a prosperous employer-employee relationship is by ensuring our workforce has ready access to ongoing training and development. Why? Healthy careers lead to a bright future!  

That includes TrainND, a program offered by North Dakota State College of Science that provides training opportunities to more than 13,000 employers across the state in:

• Apprenticeship
• CDL/Truck Driving Training
• Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
• Computer Technology
• Industrial/Manufacturing… and more!

The goal? Enhance our workforce’s ability to compete in a global market.

That alone is crucial for enhancing employee skills, improving overall performance, and increasing productivity so that workers become proficient in their roles.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

But why is ongoing training so important in helping workers manage stress? Because studies have shown it’s proven to lead to increased job satisfaction, a more engaged workforce, and increased confidence.

Imagine how much of an impact the combination of relaxed, stable surroundings and job satisfaction has on employee retention!
