We had a great meeting in North Minneapolis at @PWCC_MN talking youth tech jobs. Thanks @Youthprise & @goprimeacademy & @comcast for joining. Great to be w/ Rep @mohamudnoor, a techie who leads House Jobs committee. Let's pass @GovTimWalz tech jobs program for youth! #mnleg
Today, Commissioner @grove visited @PWCC_MN for a roundtable event focused on the importance of youth and tech training. The Phyllis Wheatley Community Center was awarded a Minnesota Tech Pilot Training grant and is gearing up to offer tech training classes later this year.
