AZ HB2371

Amends the community college adult education workforce development program to require integrated education and training as defined by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, including both academic instruction leading to a high school diploma or equivalency diploma and an industry-recognized credential or college degree.

Establishes student eligibility requirements for program funding: adult learners must enroll in a community college adult education program, participate in integrated education and training, and pursue academic skills development related to adult education and literacy activities.

Provides up to $3,000 per full-time student per fiscal year in program funding, with part-time students funded proportionally based on enrolled courses or hours of instruction.

Requires program schools to use funds to enhance or expand existing adult education programs and services, and allows funds for support services including transportation assistance, child care, college and career counseling, and job placement assistance.

Mandates annual reporting by participating community colleges to the department of education by October 30, with a compiled report submitted to state leadership by December 15 including enrollment numbers, completion rates, credentials earned, and English language proficiency gains.
