Workforce education prepares individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to enter and advance in the workforce, and the federal funding that exists for this type of education varies based on purpose and population.
This Policy Outline is the only comprehensive listing of all federally funded programs that states can use to fund workforce education. It supports state leaders’ efforts to coordinate these often disparate programs.
For more resources and details on creating training and credentials that respond to changing workforce needs, refer to our Connecting Education and Work Toolkit.
