The Minnesota Jobs Skills Partnership (MJSP) works with businesses, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations to train or retrain workers, expand work opportunities and keep high-quality jobs in the state. The goal is to target short-term training for full-time employment in the growth sectors of the state’s economy.
Minnesota’s main training grant option, the Partnership program, focuses on providing training for both new and existing employees of participating businesses throughout the state.
The Pathways program focuses on providing training, new jobs and career paths for people who have incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines or those who are making a transition from public assistance to work.
