We need to anticipate change if we are to foster economic growth and prosperity,
and position our industries and citizens at the forefront of this unfolding
economic transformation.

To begin that conversation, a statewide conference, was held on October 29th
at the West Seattle Campus of South Seattle Community College, followed by
meetings in each of the state regions.

Reports

Northwest Policy Center's Occupational Clusters Study
This study analyzes the workforce needs of industry clusters such
as health care, construction, software, metal fabrication/machine
building, and wholesale trade and business services, and identifies
the gaps between what these clusters need and what the community
and technical colleges currently produce. It also provides data about
the skills gap for other key supporting industries and emerging
clusters that could become future engines of economic growth.
