The United States Department of Education has announced additional funding towards Earn and Learn opportunities. The programme aims to prepare postsecondary students for career success. The Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos says, “The expansion of earn-and-learn sites incentivizes employers and institutions to work together for the benefit of students. Students will earn much more than a paycheck – they will gain the skills and experiences needed to succeed in any career”.
The additional funding for the Federal Work Study (FWS) Experimental Sites will be used to boost FWS wages and Job Location and Development (JLD) programs.
