The Jumpstart Our Businesses by Supporting Students Act of 2025, or JOBS Act of 2025, aims to expand Federal Pell Grant eligibility to students pursuing certain short-term job training programs . This initiative seeks to provide financial assistance for programs designed to equip individuals with skills for high-skill, high-wage, or in-demand occupations. Under this bill, an "eligible job training program" must meet specific criteria, including providing between 150 and 600 clock hours of instruction over 8 to 15 weeks . These programs must lead to a recognized postsecondary credential , be aligned with industry needs, and be sufficient to meet employer hiring requirements or satisfy prerequisites for professional licensure or certification. The Secretary of Education, with State board certification, will approve these programs, and institutional credit articulation for noncredit programs is encouraged. Students will be eligible for these new Job Training Federal Pell Grants if they have not attained a postbaccalaureate degree, attend an institution of higher education, and are enrolled in an approved program. The bill also amends the Higher Education Act to require accrediting agencies to establish processes for evaluating the quality of institutions offering these programs, ensuring they meet industry standards and lead to viable employment. Furthermore, it mandates data sharing between the Departments of Education and Labor to monitor program performance and reduces the minimum Federal Pell Grant threshold from 10 percent to 5 percent, with an effective date of July 1, 2025.
