To empower the growth of the Minnesota economy, for everyone.
The Minnesota Job Skills Pathways Program aims to provide training, new job opportunities, and career paths for individuals with incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines or those transitioning from public assistance to work. The program requires the involvement of at least one business and an accredited Minnesota educational institution or training provider. It supports projects through accredited educational institutions and workforce development intermediaries in collaboration with businesses. These projects focus on employment services for low-income individuals. The grant application process involves businesses initiating contact with potential training partners among educational institutions or workforce development intermediaries. The program has a rolling application process, with grants reviewed and approved periodically throughout the year, based on funding availability.
