## _**Colorado Workforce Development Council uses SLFRF funds to provide access to free career coaching for thousands of Colorado workers**_ _March 23, 2023 -_ The Colorado Workforce Development Council (CWDC) announces the launch of the Career Navigation and Coaching Collaborative, a statewide career coaching program for any Colorado resident, specifically those who have been displaced during the pandemic.
The program employs and trains 26 career coaches to serve Coloradans who are looking for jobs, looking to switch careers, explore continuing education, advance, or simply take the first steps toward a fulfilling and rewarding career.
Grant money from the Coronavirus State Local Fiscal and Recovery Funds Act provided funding to hire one career coach for every local workforce area, including 12 who support a variety of community based organizations. The Colorado Rural Workforce Consortium acquired an additional five coaches to support a virtual region with digital coaching services to provide more access and flexibility for those seeking services.
“We are excited to offer virtual services in order to further expand the reach of the program and ensure Coloradans, particularly those who have historically been marginalized in the workforce, have the access they need to be successful,” said CWDC Assistant Director of Systems Innovation Renise Walker. The virtual region provides coaching in both English and Spanish, and serves individuals outside of the typical 9 a. m.
- 5 p. m. business hours to ensure access for those unable to travel to a physical location.
The program is open to those who have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, with varying eligibility requirements that can easily be navigated with the help of a career coach. “Career coaches are a vital resource to learners and job seekers,“ says CWDC Consultant James Warren, who spearheads the project.
“Coaches can help build confidence and reduce barriers to employment by helping people identify their skills and interests, and map out the steps needed to successfully pursue their career, educational and personal goals,” says Warren.
In anticipation of the launch, the new career coaches have been immersed in weekly training sessions led by Radicle Coaching, LLC, an organization specializing in one-on-one and group career coaching, in order to better understand and continually improve their ability to serve Coloradans across the state.

Federal appropriators added $15 billion in new Pell Grant funding to the FY 2026 appropriations package on top of the standard appropriation level — a response to a structural shortfall that CBO scored at $5.4 billion in FY 2026 and $11.5 billion in FY 2027. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget projects a cumulative gap of $61 billion to $97 billion through 2035 even after the one-time fix. Meanwhile, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act expanded eligibility to short-term Workforce Pell programs, adding $2 to $6 billion in new costs. The Pell program is the foundation of need-based federal student aid, but the structural mismatch between rising costs and appropriations is a permanent feature now. Here is what that means for institutions, foundations, and state higher-ed agencies.

Read articleBuried in OMB's 400-page rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 is a structural decision to delete fixed-amount awards and fixed-amount subawards as a permissible federal grant vehicle except where Congress explicitly authorizes them by statute. The change targets outcome-payment grants, milestone-based workforce training contracts, charter school federal pass-throughs, and the entire universe of simplified award programs that have allowed small grantees to operate without month-by-month cost accounting infrastructure. Comments close July 13; proposed effective date October 1. Grantees who do not begin building cost-allocation systems now will not be able to bid on FY27 NOFOs.
