⚠️ BREAKING NEWS ⚠️ Starting next year, the new Workforce Pell Grant program will cover short-term job training at VGCC and other NC community colleges! Check out the story from North Carolina Community Colleges for more details. ⬇️📣 Big News for North Carolinians! 📣
A new federal law is expanding access to short-term job training programs through Workforce Pell Grants—helping more students fast-track their careers in high-demand fields like healthcare, trades, IT, and advanced manufacturing.
Starting July 2026, eligible students can use Pell Grants for short-term, high-quality workforce training programs—some as short as 8 weeks! That means quicker paths to good-paying jobs and family-sustaining careers.
✅ Grants will help cover tuition, fees & expenses
✅ Available at NC’s 58 community colleges
✅ Part of Propel NC’s mission to modernize workforce education
