The bill proposes an appropriation of $400,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026 to support a youth workforce development program run by MAD DADS of Minneapolis. This initiative targets individuals aged 16 to 24, particularly from underserved communities, and aims to provide them with career exploration opportunities, hands-on job training, mentorships, and pathways to certification in high-demand industries.

The program will focus on training in various fields, including HVAC, energy efficiency, and solar panel installation, as part of an earn-to-learn model. This funding is designated as a one-time appropriation to facilitate the implementation of the program.
