Bill > SF1985

This bill appropriates $4 million in total ($2 million in fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the workforce development fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically for a grant to Summit Academy OIC (Opportunities Industrialization Center), a nonprofit organization. The grant is designed to support several key objectives: expanding student enrollment and program access in the Twin Cities and throughout Minnesota, enhancing employment placement efforts, expanding GED (General Educational Development) preparation and administration services, developing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programming, and launching a new dental assistant training program. The dental assistant program will not only provide training but will also work directly with employers to help place students in jobs after they successfully complete the program, demonstrating a focus on practical workforce development and career readiness.
