New
Job-Training and Education Grants Program Launched Summary from AAUW
The Department of Labor, in conjunction with the
Department of Education, released guidelines for a grant program to
provide $2 billion over a four-year period to community colleges and
institutions offering degrees of two years or less. The program,
funded by the Student Aid Fiscal Responsibility Act, marks a large
increase in funding for two-year institutions, although it is far
less than $12 billion the failed American Graduation Initiative would
have invested.
