Bill > HF2323

This bill establishes a Global Competency Development Pilot Program by appropriating $3 million from the general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Department 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 critical for future workforce success. These skills include critical thinking, collaboration, adaptability, and evidence-based reasoning. Grant recipients are required to secure a minimum 25 percent match from non-state sources, and the funds can be used for various program expenses such as teacher training, curriculum development, and supporting participating schools. The appropriation will be available until June 30, 2028, allowing for a multi-year implementation of the pilot program aimed at enhancing students' preparedness for a globally competitive job market.
