116L.02 JOB SKILLS PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM.
(a) The Minnesota Job Skills Partnership program is created to act as a catalyst to bring
together employers with specific training needs with educational or other nonprofit institutions
which can design programs to fill those needs. The partnership shall work closely with employers
to prepare, train and place prospective or incumbent workers in identifiable positions as well
as assisting educational or other nonprofit institutions in developing training programs that
coincide with current and future employer requirements. The partnership shall provide grants to
educational or other nonprofit institutions for the purpose of training workers. A participating
business must match the grant-in-aid made by the Minnesota Job Skills Partnership. The match
may be in the form of funding, equipment, or faculty.
(b) The partnership program shall administer the health care and human services worker
training and retention program under sections 116L.10 to 116L.15.
(c) The partnership program is authorized to use funds to pay for training for individuals who
have incomes at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty line. The board may grant funds to
eligible recipients to pay for board-certified training. Eligible recipients of grants may include
public, private, or nonprofit entities that provide employment services to low-income individuals.
