Perspectives on Transferring Higher Education Programs to U.S. Department of Labor

This session will explore the potential impact of transferring programs like TRIO from the Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). While Career and Technical Education (CTE) has already moved to the DOL, there are concerns about shifting TRIO and similar programs, with experts warning that such a move could disrupt vital services for students. The discussion will focus on the challenges and opportunities of relocating these programs and the broader implications for educational support and workforce development. Join us for a comprehensive look at this critical issue.
