Workforce Pell Grants are set to reshape the landscape of workforce development and continuing education when they launch in 2026. For colleges and universities, this presents both an unprecedented opportunity and a critical responsibility: expanding access to short-term, career-focused programs while ensuring compliance with new federal requirements. 

 

This webinar is designed for continuing education and workforce leaders seeking practical insights into how to manage and report on Workforce Pell funds—supporting eligible students as they identify and register for approved programs. 

 

Key discussion topics include: 

  • Institutional & Student Requirements – A breakdown of eligibility criteria, reporting expectations, and how Workforce Pell differs from traditional Pell. 
  • Fund Application & Administration – Best practices for flagging eligible short-term and noncredit programs, and ensuring funds are applied accurately to qualified learners. 
  • Strategic Campus Readiness – How financial aid, enrollment services, and continuing education teams can coordinate for smooth, compliant implementation. 

 

Workforce Pell is more than a compliance requirement—it’s an opportunity to strengthen the learner-to-earner pathway by ensuring federal dollars translate into meaningful credentials and career outcomes. This session will help your institution prepare now to maximize impact when Workforce Pell goes live. 

 

Who Should Attend:

  • Continuing and professional education leaders 

  • Workforce development administrators
  • Financial aid and enrollment services teams
