The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development was recently awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor to help keep ill and injured employees in the workforce.
Minnesota was one of five states to receive the award, called Retaining Employment and Talent After Injury/Illness Network (RETAIN) Phase II grant.
It is a four-year $19,518,509 grant through DOL’s Office of Disability Employment Programs (ODEP) that will fund MN RETAIN, which helps employees stay at or return to work more rapidly when an injury or illness impacts their ability to work.
