For Colleges Nationwide
Dr. Mildred Coyne has spent thirty years making sure colleges capture every dollar of funding they are owed, and stay ahead of every rule that decides who keeps it. The author of Dr. Coyne's Two Cents.
Why Now
The funding is real.
The standards are clear.
01
Funding is expanding
Federal dollars are moving toward short, workforce-aligned programs. Colleges with eligible portfolios capture that funding. The criteria are specific, and they reward programs built to qualify.
02
Outcomes set the bar
Programs are measured against federal completion, placement, and earnings floors. Colleges that know where every program stands can act early and qualify with confidence.
03
The advantage compounds
Aligning programs, funding, and compliance takes time and expertise. Colleges that do the work early are the ones positioned to lead, year after year.
Trusted Across the College System
Colleges, workforce boards, and community partners served by the CWS team across three decades.

Why This Work
A firm built from one family's experience with lost work.
When Dr. Coyne was eighteen, she watched her father's thirty-two-year career end as the steel industry left the country. That experience became a thirty-year mission: making sure the next person has a path, and helping colleges build the programs that create one.
