Annual Report 2024 State Council of Higher Education for Virginia A product of the 2016 Session of the General Assembly, the New Economy Workforce Credential Grant (WCG) Program represents the nation's first pay-for-performance model for funding noncredit workforce training that leads to a credential in a high-demand field.
Using a two-pronged approach, the WCG works to increase program completion and credential attainment by incentivizing both the provision of noncredit programs in certain institutions of higher education (IHEs) and enrollment by Virginia residents.
The enabling legislation tasks the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) with administering and monitoring the WCG, as well as reporting on annual progress to the General Assembly and the Virginia Workforce Development Board (VWDB, or the Board).
The following report provides a review of enrollments, completions, costs, and outcomes across the Commonwealth over the past fiscal year, from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024.

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.
