Bill > HF2735

This bill appropriates $400,000 from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Commissioner of Employment and Economic Development, specifically to provide a grant to MAD DADS of Minneapolis for a youth workforce development program. The program targets young people ages 16 to 24, with a particular emphasis on underserved communities, and aims to create an "earn-to-learn" initiative that offers career exploration, job training, mentorship, and certification pathways. The program will focus on providing training in high-demand industries, with specific mention of technical fields such as HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), energy efficiency, and solar panel installation. The bill specifies that this funding is a one-time appropriation, meaning the $400,000 is intended for a single fiscal year and is not meant to be an ongoing annual allocation.
