“In his 2019 State of the State address, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee was one of several governors to stress the importance of state and community investment in workforce development — and particularly, improving access to postsecondary education and other training that would lead to better-qualified candidates for jobs in high-demand, technical fields.
“From there, the Legislature took on Inslee’s charge, ultimately passing the Workforce Education Investment Act, which includes:
- The new Washington College Grant
- Expansion of Career Connect Washington
- Expansion of the Guided Pathways program.”
