Organization of Liberians in Minnesota grant funding provided, and money appropriated.
This bill appropriates $250,000 in state funds to the Organization of Liberians in Minnesota to support a workforce development training program. The program is designed for Minnesota residents, with a specific focus on Black, Indigenous, and people of color communities as well as Liberian residents, offering training in health care and industrial trades. The funding can be used to cover costs such as tuition, training materials, and supportive services like transportation and child care, while the organization must coordinate with community colleges and employers. Participants aim to earn credentials and secure job placements within six months, and the organization is required to submit annual reports on enrollment and job outcomes.
