At the Ramsey County board of commissioners meeting last week, GESMN’s FAST program received the 2019 award for excellence, presented by Commissioner Toni Carter (pictured above) from District 4. FAST is a unique, highly collaborative and culturally informed service model within Ramsey County Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) extension services. FAST offers several family-based services from a variety of providers in one location.

Ramsey Country Workforce Solutions Director Ling Becker showed gratitude to GESMN employees saying, “Thank you to all of you for your tremendous leadership, hard work and commitment to serving Ramsey County residents. Partnerships such as FAST are absolutely critical for our community and I honor you all for your values role in this important work.”

GESMN IPS provides:

  • A continuum of employment support, from resume development to job coaching
