Workforce Pell Program Design
Workforce Pell creates new opportunities for colleges to connect students with short-term, career-focused programs that lead to high-skill, high-wage, or in-demand occupations. But qualifying programs need more than strong curriculum. They need clear alignment with workforce demand, employer expectations, credential pathways, and state and federal requirements.
What makes WIDS different?
WIDS helps you connect program design to your state's high-skill, high-wage, and in-demand occupations through DACUM occupational analysis and standards alignment. We work with your team to make workforce alignment visible rather than assumed.
Using DACUM and other collaborative methods, WIDS brings employer and subject-matter expert input directly into program design. The result is a program grounded in what graduates need to know and be able to do on the job.
WIDS helps design credential pathways that connect short-term training with additional education and career opportunities. Industry certifications and related credentials can be included as part of the pathway.
Good program design is only part of the job. WIDS helps organize curriculum alignment, standards, program outcomes, and supporting documentation so your institution can clearly demonstrate how the program meets Workforce Pell expectations.
