We wrapped up day two of our Communities of Practice on noncredit mobility engagement. Today we heard from speakers on navigating policy and building infrastructure, seizing the moment with Workforce Pell, and using regulatory changes to advance noncredit mobility. #SHEEOCoP

It’s been a full day of panels and speakers sharing how to define, measure, collect data on, and fund noncredit programs. State teams spent sessions identifying goals and challenges around noncredit mobility, and utilized peer feedback with other states to spur ideas. #SHEEOCoP
