Abstract: The Department of Labor (DOL) seeks to enable individuals who are interested in increasing their skills to obtain industry-recognized credentials, while receiving Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits to have the opportunity to engage in job training. To support these jobseekers, DOL is encouraging States UI agencies and American Job Centers (AJCs) as third party disseminators to work together to notify unemployed individuals of their potential eligibility for Pell Grants.
