Bill > SF2364

This bill establishes a Global Competency Development Pilot Program by appropriating $3,000,000 from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development. The funding will be used to provide grants to nonprofit organizations that will train students across multiple sites in Minnesota on global competency skills crucial for future workforce success. These skills include critical thinking, collaboration, adaptability in unfamiliar situations, and forming evidence-based opinions. To receive a grant, nonprofit organizations must secure a minimum 25 percent match from non-state funding sources. The grant funds can be used for various program expenses such as teacher training, developing curriculum, and supporting participating schools. The appropriation will remain available until June 30, 2028, giving organizations time to implement and develop these training programs.
