State Approving Agency for Veterans Training

The Arkansas Department of Workforce Education is the State Approving Agency (SAA) to approve educational institutions and business establishments that wish to enroll veterans and eligible beneficiaries under the G.I. Bill.

The SAA approves all public and private university, college, and technical/vocational school programs so that the veteran can use his/her education benefits. In addition, the Arkansas SAA is responsible for approval of On-the-Job Training and Apprenticeship programs that are offered to veterans.

The SAA evaluates the curricula, physical facilities, faculty qualifications, administration, and policies/procedures of each school or training program prior to approval. On-site visits to examine student records and application of policies and procedures are conducted annually. These visits are to monitor continued compliance with VA regulations and to ensure the quality of the program that is offered to veterans.
