Bill > HF1936

This bill provides funding to the Minnesota Alliance of Boys and Girls Clubs for youth job skills and career development programs. Specifically, the bill appropriates $1,250,000 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the workforce development fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development. The grant will support a statewide project designed to help youth develop job-seeking skills, career exploration, and work-based learning experiences, with a particular focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) career pathways. The program aims to encourage early access to education and job skills, provide career guidance including health and life skills, and assist with first job placement through local community partnerships and on-site job opportunities. The grant requires a 25 percent match from non-state resources, and the appropriations are considered one-time funding. This initiative seeks to support youth in developing the skills and experiences necessary for successful career entry and professional development.
