Employ Prince George’s Launches Access 2 Education Scholarship Fund

Access to Education

Employ Prince George’s, Prince George’s County’s principal workforce development entity, has partnered with 2U, Inc., a Lanham-based education technology company, to launch a scholarship program that will build Prince George’s County’s pipeline of technical talent and put high-quality training programs within reach of residents from underrepresented backgrounds. The Access 2 Education Scholarship Fund will allow historically underrepresented candidates in tech the opportunity to enroll in 2U’s career accelerating boot camps in coding, data analytics and cybersecurity through local universities like George Washington University.

Inclement Weather Policy for Waste Collection

As we prepare for inclement weather this winter, it is important to know the recycling and waste collection policies for our County. If severe weather conditions delay services for one day, those collections will occur after the following day’s regularly scheduled collections. For example, if weather prevents collection on your regularly scheduled Tuesday, then it will be collected after Wednesday’s regular collections. If a regular Friday collection is suspended, that collection will occur on Saturday. Missed yard trim collections on Mondays will be picked up the following Monday.

Residents scheduled with bulky trash appointments will be contacted and rescheduled within seven days. If severe weather conditions delay services for two consecutive days, collection will resume the following week on your regular day. For example, if weather prevents collection for Tuesday AND Wednesday collections, both Tuesday and Wednesday collections will be collected the following week.

The County will make every effort to post any information regarding delayed or suspended collections on the County’s website at mypgc.us or the Department of the Environment’s website at environment.mypgc.us, or you may contact CountyClick 3-1-1.
