Workforce Pell: Understanding the Value and Dispelling Myths
Senators Tim Kaine and Mike Braun invite you to a Congressional staff briefing to learn more about the need to expand Pell Grant eligibility to high-quality, short-term job training programs. Last January, the Senators re-introduced the Jumpstarting Our Businesses by Supporting Students (JOBS) Act (S. 161). This bipartisan legislation has broad support, with over 45 senators endorsing the bill.
Senator Kaine will make brief opening remarks before the panel begins. All are welcome!
