Quentin N. Burdick Job Corps Center was established in September of 1994 and is located in north central North Dakota in the city of Minot. The center is named after the late U.S. Senator Quentin N. Burdick who was instrumental in procuring the center for North Dakota. The center is located on the former site of the John Moses Veterans' Hospital. The Quentin N. Burdick Job Corps Center is operated by MINACT, INC..

The center is unique in that it is one of the few centers located in a residential neighborhood and that it has a single parent component. Child Care Service is provided by ABC Daycare. The center's capacity is 250 student employees (125 male & 125 female). Of our 125 females, 24 are single parents caring for up to 30 children with the assistance of staff. With a staffing of approximately 105, the center is able to provide a significant amount of individual attention to the student employees.

Quentin N. Burdick Job Corps assists student employees with academic, vocational, and social skills training to prepare them for not only finding and keeping a job, but to be promotable in today's workplace. Cultural diversity and cooperation are a major focus of our Center. Our student employee body consists of Caucasian, Hispanic, African-American, and Native Americans. Currently, the four Indian Reservations in North Dakota provide approximately 35% of our student employee population.
