New Economy Workforce Credential Grant. Annual Report 2023
State Council of Higher Education for Virginia
During the 2016 session, the General Assembly and Governor established the New Economy Workforce Grant Program (WCG). This grant program, the first of its kind in the nation, provides a pay-for-performance model for funding noncredit workforce training that leads to a credential in a high-demand field. The program also includes requirements for students to complete the program to avoid paying additional costs. A summary of the major components of the program is included in this report. The purpose of this report is to provide to the General Assembly and the Virginia Board for Workforce Development a review of FY 2023 enrollments, completions, costs and outcomes of the New Economy Workforce Credential Grant program.
