What We Do
Our Takoda (Dakota for “Friend to All”) programming addresses educational disparities on four fronts: training, career coaching, adult education and an alternative high school.
Find a Career, Not Another Job
Takoda is a nationally-recognized career coaching service based in South Minneapolis. Our coaches will work with you one-on-one to help you enter, reenter, or advance in the workforce. Services are tailored to your individual needs and Takoda is especially equipped to serve people of color, workers who’ve recently experienced a lay-off, families who receive public assistance, and individuals with a criminal record or exiting incarceration.
Career coaching from Takoda is offered free to teens and adults in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. During COVID, our services are provided online or in-person on our South Minneapolis campus.
