Invitation for Public Comment: Workforce Arizona Council Policies

The Office of Governor Katie Hobbs and the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO)—home to the state's workforce board, the Governor’s Workforce Arizona Council, are currently advancing the development of Arizona’s Workforce Pell policy. Throughout the coming months, several key milestones will be achieved which will allow Arizona institutions to formally submit their programs to the U.S. Department of Education for final eligibility review and approval.

As a next step, we invite the public for public review and comment on the draft Arizona's Workforce Pell Program Policy currently posted on the Workforce Arizona Council’s website “Public Comment” page.

Public Comments regarding the draft of Arizona's Workforce Pell Program Policy should be added to the linked Arizona's Workforce Pell Program Policy comment log no later than July 20, 2026 at 3:30pm. Please note, public comments will not be accepted after this time period.

Public comments will be reviewed and presented to the Workforce Arizona Council Executive Committee on August 13, 2026. The adoption of the policy will be considered during the Workforce Arizona’s Full Council meeting on September 17, 2026.
