![]() The problem? While these issues are intertwined, we treat them as if they were separate issues. Three critically important components of the workforce system are currently under review in Congress and the Biden administration: reauthorization of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), growth of Registered Apprenticeships, and expansion of Pell Grants to include high-quality short-term credentials. Responding to individual agencies and oversight groups limits our collective ability to think beyond existing statutes and structures instead, we too often focus on narrow reforms that solve one issue while kicking the can down the road on large-scale change. Federal programs focused on workforce development and training are often administered by different federal agencies and overseen by separate Congressional committees-making it difficult, if not impossible, to align objectives, accountability structures, and governance models. ![]()
