There will be 740,000 job openings over the next five years in Washington. Washington’s young people deserve an education that prepares them to take part in our economy, and real world, hands-on career connected learning is a key part of this preparation. Such preparation also equips employers with a workforce ready for 21st century challenges and innovation. 

Please join us for Governor Inslee’s Summit on Career Connected Learning on May 31, 2017.  You’ll be part of a group of industry, policy, and education leaders working together to share best practices and policies to increase and strengthen career-related opportunities in high demand jobs for Washington’s youth. The Governor's Summit is the culmination of an 18-month, multi-state Policy Academy, co-chaired by the Governor's office and the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board.
