Workforce Pell State Briefing

Florida

What's happening with Workforce Pell in Florida?

As of 2026-06-11, Florida has not named a Workforce Pell–specific approver. It maintains an existing state-approved credential roster, the Master Credentials List (roughly 2,400 "state-approved credentials of value" in the 2025–26 edition), kept by the Credentials Review Committee and CareerSource Florida under the state's REACH Act. Whether and how Workforce Pell will use it has not been announced.

Which occupations is this aimed at in Florida?

The right-hand column flags occupations matching credentials on the Master Credentials List (2025–26 edition); the MCL is a credential list, so treat this as a cross-reference rather than an official Workforce Pell list.
