Rural Minnesota at Work! Adult Competitive Grant
Rural Minnesota CEP, Inc. (RMCEP) has been involved in sector work since 2007 when the agency focused on identified key industry clusters through its Framework for Integrated Strategies (FIRST) Grant.
Building on this work, RMCEP is currently utilizing its Adult Competitive Grant to train low-income and long-term unemployed individuals for jobs in the manufacturing and wholesale trade and trucking sectors. Skills training is provided through classroom training, paid internships and On-the-Job Training.
