Bill > SF798

This bill appropriates $1.4 million total ($700,000 in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the workforce development fund to the Minnesota commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically for a grant to Hired, a workforce development organization. The grant is intended to support Hired's job training and placement programming, with two primary objectives: first, to expand career pathway programs that connect lower-skilled job seekers with entry-level jobs in high-growth sectors, and second, to create services for low-income Minnesotans aimed at improving job retention and workforce stability. The grant will enable Hired to provide a comprehensive range of employment support services, including coaching, navigation, and ongoing assistance for economically disadvantaged employees. These appropriations are designated as one-time funding, meaning they are not expected to be recurring annual expenses.
