PLEASE NOTE – WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW ENROLLMENTS IN THIS PROGRAM
(4.9.2024)
Workforce Development, Inc. has recently released a Request for Proposal for workforce development partners within the RETAIN Initiative. The Minnesota Retaining Employment and Talent After Injury/Illness Network (RETAIN) program’s primary goal is to provide early intervention strategies for workers to stay at work or return to work as soon as medically possible after an injury or illness, occurring on or off-the-job. Minnesota RETAIN is different than many other stay at work/return to work programs because the Return to Work Case Manager is an integrated member of the worker’s medical team.
Within WDI’s specialized grant programs, the MN RETAIN program will be focused on awarding proposals that place an emphasis on providing career services.
