Information technology

Information technology interacts with all sectors of our state's economy. Minnesota is home to about 108,000 people working in information technology occupations, according to 2023 data. That’s about 3.8% of total employment in Minnesota, while the national average for such occupations is about 3.7%.

The IT occupations within the Minnesota Dual-Training Pipeline represent pathways to in-demand jobs within an industry that is well-suited for dual-training opportunities.
