We’re working together to make this school year a good one."*

*"As a mom of a new middle schooler, I know there’s nothing like the energy of the first day of school,"* said Lieutenant Governor Flanagan. *"I am so grateful for the educators and school staff who have been preparing for weeks to welcome students back to school. By investing in crucial resources, from free meals and special education to literacy programs and attendance, we’re making sure students and schools have the resources they need for a successful year."*

Governor Walz and Lieutenant Governor Flanagan are recognizing Workforce Development Month by highlighting efforts to connect more Minnesotans to high-growth, high-demand jobs through job training and workforce development programs. The state’s Dual Training Grant program has now been expanded to include the child care industry, providing $450,000 to support the training of dozens of new child care workers.

*"As a top state for business, health care, and manufacturing, there are **so many opportunities for people to enter high-demand, family-sustaining careers in Minnesota,"* said Governor Walz. *"We’**ve expanded on-the-job training and workforce development to grow our economy and build a strong, competitive workforce."*

*"When we invest in workforce development and job training programs, we create economic opportunity for Minnesotans across the state,"* said Lieutenant Governor Flanagan. *"These programs are charting pathways for **people in Minnesota to succeed in high-growth industries, from clean energy to health care."*
