“Minnesota needs a skilled, diverse workforce. We can’t afford to lose workers through educational neglect or relocation. Through the new Project Success Institute, funded by the Dreams to Futures Campaign, we are building that workforce by providing the support students need to imagine and map their futures right here in Minnesota.”
