Dunwoody Seeks to Fill the Trades Gap—Virtually (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s not news that construction companies, manufacturers, and other businesses that employ people in the trades are having trouble filling their many open positions. “Trades careers are lucrative, and they have high job satisfaction,” says Scott Stallman, president of Dunwoody College of Technology in Minneapolis. “We asked ourselves, ‘What is keeping students from these careers?’ And it seemed to us that there was a gap”—one that begins opening up in high school. To help close that gap, the tec
Why Is There Heavy Industry on One of the Most Upscale Parts of the Riverfront? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It seems like a relic from Minneapolis’ past.

Read excerpt
The news last week that Rolls-Royce opened a new $24 million expansion of its Mankato facility probably has many people wondering: What is Rolls-Royce doing in a Greater Minnesota city of 45,000 people? For most of us, Rolls-Royce means fabulously luxurious automobiles. And those cars are still being manufactured. But there’s another Rolls-Royce that doesn’t make cars. Sound confusing? Here’s an abridged version. Start with a little history: In 1904, mechanical engineer Henry Royce and automobil
