September 5, 2024
Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan are recognizing Workforce Development Month by highlighting efforts to connect more Minnesotans to high-growth, high-demand jobs through job training and workforce development programs. The state's Dual Training Grant program has now been expanded to include the child care industry, providing $450,000 to support the training of dozens of new child care workers.
"As a top state for business, health care, and manufacturing, there are so many opportunities for people to enter high-demand, family-sustaining careers in Minnesota," said Governor Walz. "We've expanded on-the-job training and workforce development to grow our economy and build a strong, competitive workforce."
