This bill focuses on workforce development by appropriating funds specifically for training programs aimed at New Americans. It allocates a total of $1.1 million, with $550,000 designated for fiscal year 2026 and another $550,000 for fiscal year 2027, to be granted to the International Institute of Minnesota. The funds are intended to support workforce training in industries that require a skilled workforce, addressing the needs of New Americans entering the job market.

The appropriations are classified as one-time funding, meaning they are not intended to be recurring expenses in future budgets. This initiative aims to enhance the employability of New Americans and fill gaps in the labor market by providing targeted training and support.
