Northwest Technical College congratulates Bemidji High School’s Bemidji Career Academies program for receiving a $90,000 Youth Skills Training grant from the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry.
The Bemidji Career Academies is one of 17 programs from across Minnesota to share in $1.5 million in grant funding from the state. The funding will help the academies develop paid-learning opportunities for students who are 16 or older.
“Youth Skills Training grants provide students with hands-on workforce training in high-demand, high-growth fields,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said in the state’s announcement of the grant awards. “Employers across the state are facing workforce shortages, and these innovative partnerships connect schools with local business to create career pathways for younger Minnesotans.”
