Career Connect Washington Regional Partners

Networks of regional partners are key to scaling career connected learning statewide. CCW Network Directors and Career Connected Learning Coordinators (CCLCs) in each region play an integral role in convening and managing cross-industry and K-12 system partnerships that will lead to expanded opportunities for Washington youth.

To localize the statewide mission, vision, and goals of CCW, a career connected learning expansion strategy for each region is now available using the regional menu below. These plans were informed by regionalized data and developed under the leadership of the Regional Network Directors, in partnership with Career Connected Learning Coordinators, with input from additional key stakeholders. These documents identify regional goals, priorities, and approaches to guide collaborative work in expanding equitable access to work-based learning opportunities for students.
