Arkansas ranks fourth in the nation among GED pass rates with 86% of adults passing in 2023.

The Arkansas Department of Workforce Services began accepting applications on Monday for people living in Craighead, Jackson, Mississippi, Poinsett, and Woodruff Counties who lost their job as a result of severe storms that came through the region on December 10 and 11.

The Reimagine Arkansas Workforce Project is helping Arkansans hit financially by the pandemic get back on their feet with new skills – particularly those who have had other employment challenges.
