Last week, McKenzie County received three Ukrainian individuals who came to work in the Bakken oilfield through the Bakken GROW (Global Recruitment of Oilfield Workers) program. The county is excited to have these individuals in the workforce and the community.
The GROW Program was launched by the North Dakota Petroleum Council earlier this year and has already placed 50 Ukrainian immigrants with employers in western North Dakota. McKenzie County is expected to receive more Ukrainians in the upcoming months. Read more on the program here.
