Description
This EDA investment amendment provides additional funding to support the farmers union foundation with purchasing state-of-the-art mobile meat slaughtering and processing equipment that will be used for direct instruction at two colleges and other sites, for hosting apprenticeships, and offering informal peer-to-peer education opportunities in staples, minnesota. The project will help the region recover from coronavirus pandemic-related job losses and supply chain issues severely impacted by the lack of economic activity in the meat processing industry and exposed vulnerabilities in the U.S. Meat processing system. Among those vulnerabilities is a lack of skilled workers where meat processing jobs are located. Through a partnership with central lakes college and ridgewater college, the foundation will train adults and non-traditional students for in-demand meat processing jobs in minnesota. Two meat processing certificate programs will be launched to provide a pathway for students to quickly gain good-paying jobs in the high-demand meat processing industry. Once completed, the project will address the workforce needs in the region by serving as a catalyst for private investment and job creation.
