SF 1919 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

New American workforce training appropriation

This bill appropriates $550,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $550,000 for fiscal year 2027 from Minnesota's workforce development fund to the International Institute of Minnesota. The funds will support workforce training programs for immigrants and refugees (referred to as "New Americans" in the bill) in industries facing labor shortages. The training aims to connect these individuals with job opportunities in high-demand sectors. This is a one-time funding allocation, not an ongoing program.
