The Economic and Workforce Development initiative by the North Dakota Indian Affairs Commission focuses on strengthening tribal economies and creating employment opportunities. It connects tribal communities with resources such as business development programs, workforce training, and funding options through partnerships with state agencies, educational institutions, and organizations like the SBA and SBDC. The program also supports sectors like manufacturing, energy, agriculture, tourism, and infrastructure, while offering incentives such as grants, tax benefits, and access to capital to promote sustainable growth and workforce readiness.
