From the meeting
The Department of Labor and Industry was studying how Montana might identify short-term education and training programs that qualify for Workforce Pell under federal rules. The report said the state also needed data and methods to handle small sample sizes when measuring completion, employment, and value-added earnings. This was a research and policy-evaluation effort still in progress as of the July 16, 2026 update.
The update tied the work to future implementation of the new federal rules.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
