     116L.02 Job Skills Partnership program. 

    (a) The Minnesota Job Skills Partnership program is created 
 to act as a catalyst to bring together employers with specific 
 training needs with educational or other nonprofit institutions 
 which can design programs to fill those needs.  The partnership 
 shall work closely with employers to prepare, train and place 
 prospective or incumbent workers in identifiable positions as 
 well as assisting educational or other nonprofit institutions in 
 developing training programs that coincide with current and 
 future employer requirements.  The partnership shall provide 
 grants to educational or other nonprofit institutions for the 
 purpose of training workers.  A participating business must 
 match the grant-in-aid made by the Minnesota Job Skills 
 Partnership.  The match may be in the form of funding, 
 equipment, or faculty. 

    (b) The partnership program shall administer the health 
 care and human services worker training and retention program 
 under sections 116L.10 to 116L.15. 

    (c) The partnership program is authorized to use funds to 
 pay for training for individuals who have incomes at or below 
 200 percent of the federal poverty line.  The board may grant 
 funds to eligible recipients to pay for board-certified training.
 Eligible recipients of grants may include public, private, or 
 nonprofit entities that provide employment services to 
 low-income individuals.
