Bill > HF2495

This bill appropriates $75,000 in fiscal year 2026 from the workforce development fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development specifically for a grant to InspireMSP, a program designed to engage middle and high school students in Minneapolis and St. Paul with the creative industry. The grant funds will support programming aimed at helping historically excluded youth develop interest and skills in creative careers by providing them with essential resources, professional networks, and hands-on experience. The bill specifies that this is a one-time appropriation, meaning the funding is intended for a single fiscal year and is not meant to be a recurring annual allocation. By targeting youth in Minnesota's largest urban areas and focusing on historically underrepresented populations, the bill seeks to create pathways for young people to explore and potentially enter creative industry careers.
