Diversity is a culture of inclusion and respect where our differences, as well as our similarities, are recognized and valued.
In Dakota County it is our intention to not only be in full compliance with all applicable equal opportunity, affirmative action and nondiscrimination laws, rules, regulations and guidelines, but also to promote this policy through a continuing program of positive practices. These positive practices are specifically designed to ensure the full realization of the principles of equality without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, creed, age, marital status, sexual orientation, socioeconomic level, status with regard to public assistance or status as disabled. The Dakota County Board of Commissioners expects each employee to cooperate to achieve this goal and each Commissioner personally stands behind these principles.
Specialized Recruitment
Dakota County strives to attract the most qualified, diverse pool of applicants for each position posted. We participate in a variety of specialized recruitment activities designed to attract a more diverse applicant pool. These activities include occupationally specific job fairs and events designed to identify and attract persons of color and women into jobs where they are underrepresented.
Dakota County Diversity…tearing down barriers, building opportunities.
