Including Potomac State College in the definition of community and technical college education program for participation in the “Learn and Earn Program”
HB 4533 amends West Virginia law to permanently include Potomac State College of West Virginia University as an eligible institution for the "Learn and Earn Program." This program allows students to work with employers while studying technical programs, earning a salary and gaining work experience. The bill removes the previous "pilot" designation for Potomac State, making its participation in the program permanent rather than temporary. This directly affects Potomac State students seeking affordable, work-based technical education opportunities.
