Understanding the H1-B Funding Process
The H1-B One Workforce Grant is a specialized employment assistance program that provides job skills training funding for eligible participants.
If you are seeking H1-B funding for a University of Arizona Continuing & Professional Education program, these are the steps in the funding request process.
Step 1: Discuss with your funder
Contact Pima County One-Stop at (520) 724-7700 or via email to learn more about H-1B funding opportunities. You may be connected with a career adviser or counselor. This person will usually review your work history, skills and goals to help you choose the right program to advance your career. Your adviser/counselor will usually help you understand the types of support or funding you may be eligible to receive, including whether you may be eligible for H1-B funding.
Step 2: Choose a program.
Find the training program that is right for you on the list of University of Arizona H1-B-eligible programs.
Step 3: Request a Training Plan.
Complete the University of Arizona Training Plan Request Form. This form gives us the information we need to create a Training Plan for you. Your funder will review the Training Plan to determine whether to approve H1-B funding for the program.
Step 4: Get approved by your funder. When your funding is approved, you may receive a voucher, authorization letter or purchase order document, depending on the funding available. Please send that approval document to Jo Ann Bedwell, sand@email.arizona.edu.
Step 5: Start learning!
When your funding is approved, we will register you for the approved program. We will also work with your funder to handle payment processing.
