Minnesota Job Skills Partnership – Request for Proposals

The Minnesota Job Skills Partnership (MJSP) Board is soliciting applications for grant funding for new and incumbent worker training programs.

MJSP will accept applications for the Partnership Program, Pathways Programs, and pre-development grants for the Partnership Program. Read more about each program below.

Partnership Program

The program aims to act as a catalyst between business and education in developing cooperative training projects that provide training for new or incumbent workers. Funds are used to develop and deliver training specific to business needs.

Pathways Program

The purpose of the program is to act as a catalyst between business and education in developing cooperative training projects that provide training, new jobs, and career paths for individuals who are at or below 200% of federal poverty guidelines or those who are making the transition from public assistance to the workforce.

Pre-development grants

Pre-development grants assist in covering costs associated with planning a specific, large-scale partnership project. A pre-development grant must demonstrate that the project will address education and skills training for high-wage, high-growth, and high-skill occupations, businesses, and industries.

Request for Proposal deadline

The deadline for the submission of regular grant applications is 4:30 p.m. on May 1. Short form and pre-development applications must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. on May 22. You can review the Request for Proposals for additional details.
