The Need
America’s workforce system is fragmented and outdated, with multiple federal departments and uncoordinated state programs making it difficult to share data, track outcomes, or align efforts. Traditional accreditation often fails to keep pace with the evolving needs of the labor market, leaving employers struggling to find qualified candidates. As a result, resources are wasted on training programs that don’t lead to jobs, and learners are too often left with costly credentials that hold little value in the real world. A more connected, transparent, and outcomes-focused system is urgently needed.
Current Challenges in Workforce Development
Fragmented system
- Multiple federal departments oversee workforce programs
- Lack of coordination between state-level programs
- Difficulty in data sharing and integration
Misalignment with labor market demands
- Traditional accreditation doesn’t always reflect current skill needs
- Employers struggle to find candidates with relevant skills
Inefficient use of resources
- Programs may not lead to employment
- Learners invest time and money in credentials that may not have value
We have a BIT of a Problem:
Let’s Meet those Impacted
- Spends $27B Annually on Federal Regulations
- $6B on Accreditation**Vanderbilt University / Boston Consulting Group
- Institutional cycles take 7 to 10 years
- Programmatic 1.5 to 3 years**Rebecca Busacca, Expert Witness for DOJ, FBI, DOD, DHS & WASC
- Half of all Skills will be outdated in Two Years**Forbes / edX Survey, 2023
- Secure Massive Legislative Victory in Workforce PELL after more than a decade of advocacy**InsideHigherEd, July 2025
- Most short-term programs lack comprehensive tracking systems for completion rates, job placement, skills development, financial value transparency and earnings outcomes. Without this data infrastructure, Workforce PELL funding may not deliver the accountability and results policymakers expect.
