The bill focuses on workforce development by appropriating funds specifically for career training in the culinary arts. It allocates $415,000 from the workforce development fund for the fiscal year 2024 to the commissioner of employment and economic development. This funding is designated for a grant to Project Restore Minnesota to support the Social Kitchen project, which serves as a pathway program for individuals pursuing careers in the culinary field.

This appropriation is a one-time allocation and will remain available until June 30, 2025. The initiative aims to enhance career opportunities in the culinary arts, thereby contributing to workforce development in Minnesota.
