Exciting news for small businesses, job seekers, and workforce partners! 🚀
The U.S. Department of Education is launching the new Workforce Pell Grant program, effective July 1, 2026. This major expansion allows eligible students to use federal Pell Grants for high-quality, short-term job training programs (as little as 8 weeks) in in-demand fields like healthcare, IT, skilled trades, manufacturing, and more — helping workers gain credentials fast with little to no debt.
Great opportunity for training providers, community colleges, and employers to upskill talent and strengthen local pipelines. Check eligibility and details on
Grants.gov or
ed.gov!
