Education and Training in Welfare/TANF
Since 1881, AAUW has been the nation's leading voice promoting education and equity for women and girls. AAUW believes increased access to education and training programs are necessary for poor women to become self-sufficient, attain jobs that pay a living wage, and move permanently off welfare. AAUW’s 2007-2009 Public Policy Program affirms AAUW’s commitment to supporting economic self-sufficiency for all women and advocates "strengthening programs, including welfare and vocational education, to improve postsecondary education access, career development and earning potential."1
