Bill > SF2948

This bill appropriates $600,000 from the workforce development fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development for a grant to OneCommunity Alliance, a nonprofit organization. The grant is specifically intended to help individuals in Central Minnesota find careers in key sectors including manufacturing, food production, agriculture, and health care. Starting in 2025, OneCommunity Alliance will launch a program focused on providing comprehensive employment support services such as workforce training, career readiness training, job placement assistance, and ongoing support. The program will prioritize participation from unemployed and underemployed individuals, recent graduates struggling to find work, and people looking to transition into new career fields. The funding is a one-time appropriation for fiscal year 2026 and will be administered through the nonprofit's employment and economy action committee to help local job seekers develop the knowledge and skills necessary to secure employment in these important regional industries.
