c. 6. C. Are Minorities
Current Narrative:
In order to ensure equitable participation of minorities, subgrantees such as the Minneapolis Urban League, Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, and the National Indian Council on Aging work in the geographic areas having the highest percentage of minority populations. This data is only available for counties with MSAs. The SCSEP distribution of this factor will be provided to the Regional FPO within 30 days. DEED will work toward expanding our capacity to assess minority characteristics in the future, working with service providers and the local workforce development boards to survey and gather information in communities that have higher levels of minority older workers. This information will support the on-going development of career pathways and sector partnerships, thus providing inclusion of older workers.
