Bill > SF1276

This bill appropriates a total of $1.5 million ($750,000 in fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the workforce development fund to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. The funding is specifically designated as a grant to the Minnesota Grocers Association Foundation for their Carts to Careers initiative, which aims to support and promote careers in the food industry. The grant will be used to conduct outreach, provide job skills training, award scholarships to students interested in food industry careers, and cover training and development costs, certifications, and other activities designed to strengthen the workforce pipeline in the food retail sector. The appropriation is characterized as a onetime funding allocation, meaning it is not expected to be a recurring annual expense.
