Senator Marshall: Department of Education Releases Guidance to Implement Workforce Pell

This week, the Department of Education released a proposed regulation to begin implementing the Workforce Pell provisions included in the Working Families Tax Cuts. This is one of the key policies I fought to be included in our landmark legislation last year, and I am happy to see the Department of Education taking steps to implement this new program.

The expansion of the Pell Grant will enable students to use Federal grant funds to enroll in high-quality, short-term programs that offer education in high-skill, high-wage, or in-demand occupations. Starting this July, students will be able to use the Pell Grant to enroll in an eligible workforce program, which can be as short as 8 weeks.

A four-year university or degree program is not always the best path for students, and Workforce Pell allows students to choose a path that is best for them and allows them to support themselves in the future. I am glad to see the Department of Education take this important step to help give students more post-secondary options.
