Vision
To position North Dakota as the destination for global talent, driving economic growth and community vitality through forward-thinking strategies.
Mission
The Global Talent Office leads a statewide strategy to attract, retain, and integrate talent from around the world, fostering a robust and diverse workforce for North Dakota.
Featured Update
Global Talent Office Grant Program is now open.
The Global Talent Office Grant is newly developed in response to Senate Bill 2142 enacted by the Sixty-eighth Legislative Assembly to create the Office and develop a pilot program to support businesses pursuing or employing legal immigrants and to support communities to develop immigrant integration plans and activities. Improving employer awareness of and access to international recruitment pathways, preparedness to employ foreign-born individuals, and support economic inclusion in the workforce will improve recruitment and retention of foreign-born workers and those that are internationally educated and credentialed. Investing in community integration activities and increasing awareness of community-based resources and programs will improve the lived experiences and long-term retention of New Americans and immigrants living in North Dakota.
