All4Ed’s Department of Education Recommendations for Workforce Pell Grants

All4Ed provided recommendations to the Department of Education regarding regulations governing the implementation of Workforce Pell Grants to ensure program quality and to make certain that Workforce Pell becomes a force for economic mobility—not a windfall for bad actors.  


All4Ed appreciates the opportunity to provide recommendations to the U.S. Department of Education (Department) on the implementation of changes made to Title IV of the Higher Education Act included in Pub. L. 119-21 to inform the draft regulation the Department will propose through the negotiated rulemaking process. The following set of recommendations focuses on regulation of the new Workforce Pell Grant program that will be negotiated by the Accountability in Higher Education and Access through Demand-driven Workforce Pell (AHEAD) Committee.
