The Cookie Cart grant funding provided, and money appropriated.

This bill allocates $500,000 from Minnesota's workforce development fund to provide a one-time grant to The Cookie Cart, a nonprofit bakery. The funding supports earn and learn training programs for youth aged 14 to 18, combining classroom instruction with on-the-job experience to teach life, leadership, and employment skills. The money is designated for fiscal year 2027 and will be managed by the commissioner of employment and economic development.
