“If you’re a Washington business owner or manager wondering where to find skilled workers, you’re not alone. And if you’re a Washington parent or high school student, wondering how to get from school to a great job, you’re not alone either.

Business, labor and education organizations are all stepping up; we need the Legislature to act as well.”
