This past summer, Ann, MICC Community Program participant, was facing some difficulties at her workplace and decided to change her career. Ann wanted a workplace with a positive work culture and a strong appreciation for its employees. Soon enough, Ann applied to Lunds and Byerlys for a Courtesy Clerk position and got the job. The next step: onboarding.

Lunds and Byerlys is one of MICC’s strongest employers. The family-owned grocery company is committed to the surrounding community and prides itself on its neighborhood feel. That feeling extends to its employees. After her first week, Ann said she had made friends and really likes working at Lunds and Byerlys.

Along with comprehensive onboarding, Lunds and Byerlys works seamlessly with accommodations and scheduling and cares about employees. Hudson, another MICC participant, has been working at Lunds and Byerlys for over a year. Hudson is an upbeat participant who is always looking to make people smile, and this store provides an environment where he can make the most of those qualities. Hudson started as a Courtesy Clerk bagging groceries and has expanded his role to product-facing tasks like product placement. Lunds and Byerlys not only provides opportunities for its employees, but also mobility within the company. 

The Lunds and Byerlys website states: “Our stores have been family-owned for three generations, and we believe in giving our customers the same personal attention and exceptional value we would expect for our own family." Their commitment to the community and care for their employees have been a great asset to the community, and MICC is proud to have Lunds and Byerly’s as a dedicated local employer.


Minnesota Independence College and Community is a 501(c)3 nonprofit vocational and life skills training program for young adults with learning differences and autism spectrum disorders. Since our founding in 1996, MICC has remained dedicated to helping our students make successful transitions towards independent living and self-sufficiency. MICC is proud to be recognized as one of the Top Workplaces in Minnesota by the Star Tribune.
