The New York State Department of Social Services (SDSS) and the New York State Education Department (SED) announce the availability of the next cycle of Education for Gainful Employment (EDGE) funding, to provide up to $18 million to provide job placement, training and work related services and to begin to prepare for implementation of federal welfare reform. The EDGE transition will cover the period October 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996. Congressional proposals to reform the welfare system will significantly affect the design and operation of the JOBS and EDGE programs.
