MAD DADS of Minneapolis appropriation for a youth workforce development program

This bill appropriates $400,000 from the general fund for a one-time grant to MAD DADS of Minneapolis. The funds will support a youth workforce development program for residents aged 16-24 in underserved communities. The program must provide career exploration, hands-on job training, mentorships, and certifications in high-demand fields like HVAC, energy efficiency, and solar installation. It is specifically designed to create pathways for young people in these industries through an "earn-to-learn" approach.
