GAO recently released the results of its review of the Department of Education’s Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship and National Resource Center (NRC) grant programs and how they support employment in areas of need. Among other issues, the report addresses how selected grantee universities describe encouraging employment in areas of need in their grant applications, and what Education’s most recent survey of FLAS graduates shows about respondents’ employment outcomes.
