Bill > HF2850

This bill appropriates a total of $900,000 ($450,000 in fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the workforce development fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development. The funds will be distributed as grants to three organizations - Ambassadors of Culture, Hooyo Hour, and United Way of Central Minnesota - to collaboratively provide workforce development services for diverse communities, with a specific focus on young adults, mothers from immigrant backgrounds, and youth from East African communities. The grants are designed to support skills enhancement, education, and employment opportunities through job training, job coaching, employer engagement, and career coaching. The funding will be equally divided, with $150,000 allocated to each organization annually, and is considered a onetime appropriation. The bill aims to address workforce development needs and support employment opportunities for underserved and immigrant communities in Minnesota.
