The bill appropriates $600,000 from the workforce development fund for fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development. This funding is designated for a grant to OneCommunity Alliance, aimed at assisting individuals in Central Minnesota who are seeking careers in the manufacturing, food production, agriculture, and health care sectors. The nonprofit organization is required to launch a program in 2025 that will equip job seekers with the necessary knowledge and skills to secure employment.

OneCommunity Alliance will utilize the appropriated funds to provide various services, including workforce training, career readiness training, job placement assistance, and ongoing support. The program will primarily target unemployed and underemployed individuals, recent graduates facing challenges in finding work, and those looking to transition into new career fields. This appropriation is a one-time allocation intended to enhance workforce development in the region.
