States Must Implement Workforce Pell Effectively to Support Economic Growth

The US Department of Education has given states guidance on implementing Workforce Pell, a federal need-based grant for low-income students pursuing high-quality, short-term credentials.

Workforce Pell provides an opportunity to strengthen talent pipelines and support the growing demand for skilled workers in industries such as finance, energy, and defense.

JPMorganChase has invested $1.5 trillion in its Security and Resiliency Initiative, a 10-year plan to boost critical industries, but this investment will only translate into growth if the US has the workforce to support it.
