Authority for state-level implementation of federal Workforce Pell Grants provided.

This bill authorizes Minnesota to implement federal Workforce Pell Grants by creating a state-level approval process for eligible workforce training programs. It requires the Governor's Workforce Development Board to establish application procedures, coordinate with other workforce programs, and mandate that approved programs report data on completion rates, job placement, and earnings. The bill specifically targets programs that prepare students for high-skill, high-wage, or in-demand occupations, ensuring alignment with federal requirements while giving the state authority to manage the program.
