Education Department Approves Workforce Pell Training Programs in Seven States
The U.S. Department of Education has approved just over 20 short-term workforce training programs at community colleges in six states, plus Pima Medical Institute’s Phoenix phlebotomy program in Arizona, for Pell Grant eligibility. The expansion creates a broader funding path for eligible students and potential service needs for education contractors, but no solicitation, contract award, or procurement value has been announced.
