# What is the purpose of the Program?

The goal of the DRep pioneer program is to empower a substantial portion of the community with the necessary knowledge and abilities to effectively participate in the DRep's new governance role following the implementation of governance features outlined in CIP1694.

The DRep Pioneer Program grant, facilitated by Intersect, invited applications from qualified member organizations to develop and conduct comprehensive DRep education courses for the Cardano community as Pioneer Workshop Leaders. These courses, curated by the chosen DRep Pioneer leaders, are intended to educate a significant portion of the community, equipping them with the requisite knowledge and skills to engage meaningfully in Cardano's governance.
