Job Training Incentive Program provides grants of up to $200,000 to new or expanding businesses located in Greater Minnesota. These grants go directly to the businesses for purposes of training workers as quickly and efficiently as possible.
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.
Training incentives are a great way to motivate employees and encourage them to continuously improve their skills. Not only do they provide a financial incentive for employees to invest in their own development, but they also help to create a more positive and productive workplace culture.
DHS encourages providers to apply for the Minnesota Care Force Incentive to reward DSPs with incentive payments. This initiative addresses the shortage of DSPs in Minnesota by rewarding people who work in this high-demand profession. Providers can use incentive payments to retain DSPs who make less than $30 per hour.
