October 1, 2024
The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) has secured a $19.1 million grant from the federal government to improve employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities, injuries or illnesses.
The U.S. Department of Education grant will help fund two DEED programs: Evolve Employment, supporting Minnesotans who recently experienced vision loss; and MN RETAIN, to help workers stay at work or return to work as soon as medically possible after an injury or illness.
