Bill > HF2849

This bill appropriates $600,000 in fiscal year 2026 from the workforce development fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically designated as a grant for OneCommunity Alliance, a nonprofit organization. The funding is intended to support a workforce development program launching in 2025 that will assist individuals in Central Minnesota seeking careers in key economic sectors including manufacturing, food production, agriculture, and health care. The program will provide comprehensive services such as workforce training, career readiness training, job placement assistance, and ongoing support, with a primary focus on helping unemployed and underemployed people, recent graduates struggling to find work, and individuals looking to transition into new career fields. The appropriation is designated as a one-time funding allocation, meaning the $600,000 is not expected to be recurring in future budget years.
