We’re excited to announce the second round of Career Connect Washington program intermediaries, which bridge the connection between industry and educators to create and scale Career Launch, Career Prep, and Career Explore programs.
We would like to thank all applicants for their submissions and the hard work they put forward to develop application materials. All are welcome to sign up to “Get Updates” on our website and receive updates on future rounds of funding.
We would like to extend our congratulations to the applicants who were selected in Round 2 to develop Career Explore and Career Launch programs in the industries named:
- Washington State University – Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine (Health Science)
- Wenatchee Valley College (Engineering)
- Elements of Education Partners (Healthcare)

We look forward to working with these organizations to reach the goal of 60% of students in the class of 2030 completing Career Launch and 100% of students completing career connected learning programs. We were excited to see the range of applications across various regions and industries, and we will continue to engage new partners in this work.
