NVF Awarded DEED Grant to Train Workers for High-Demand Jobs

We’re excited to announce that NVF has been awarded $500,000 through the Transformative Career Pathways Workforce Training Grant from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED).

DEED recently allocated $11.2 million to support job skills training, work readiness programs, internships, and on-the-job training opportunities across the state. Through the Transformative Career Pathways program, DEED partners with training providers to help underserved communities access stable, family-sustaining careers.

With this funding, NVF will expand tech education and workforce training programs for adults in the Twin Cities Metro Area, equipping them with in-demand skills for high-growth industries. As DEED Commissioner Matt Varilek emphasized, these grants are designed to help Minnesotans overcome employment barriers and secure meaningful careers.

We’re honored to be part of this initiative and look forward to contributing to the growth of Minnesota’s workforce and economy. Stay tuned for more updates on how this grant will support our programs!
