The bill appropriates a total of $1.5 million from the workforce development fund for the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to support the Bridges to Healthcare program. This funding is aimed at providing career education, wraparound support services, and job skills training specifically for low-income parents, nonnative English speakers, and other hard-to-train individuals. The initiative seeks to help these individuals build secure pathways out of poverty while simultaneously addressing workforce shortages in Minnesota's healthcare sector.

The grant proceeds can be utilized for various program expenses, including hiring instructors and navigators, renting space, and providing supportive services such as assistance with course fees, childcare, transportation, and stable housing. Additionally, the bill allows for up to five percent of the grant funds to be allocated for administrative costs associated with the Bridges to Healthcare program.
