Dual Training Grant

Sections

A grant program that pairs on-the-job training with related instruction to generate a comprehensive platform for learning.

In support of the implementation of the Minnesota Dual-Training Pipeline administered by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI), the 2015 Minnesota Legislature established the Dual Training Grant administered by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education. 

The Dual Training Grant (Minnesota Statutes 136A.246) is a funding source that generates collaborative and strategic educational solutions between employers and related instruction training providers across Minnesota. Employers or organizations of employers may apply for grants to reimburse expenses related to instruction toward attaining an industry-recognized degree, certificate or credential for their employees.
