CAREER CONNECT SOUTHWEST

As business leaders and educators in Washington state come together to ensure youth develop the necessary skills to participate in the 21st-century economy, regional leadership and oversight of career and work-based learning activities is essential to ensure quality, equal access and accountability. When business and educators work together in a systematic and focused way, they can develop a strong workforce and in turn develop a strong economic future for their community... We organize our programming and support along the Washington Career Connected Learning Framework, which begins in kindergarten and supports students through high school and into their chosen career pathway. A critical component in this work is an engaged employer base and community partners that provide expertise and mentoring, as well as work-related learning experiences... Career Exploration provides opportunities for students to consider the vast range of employment opportunities in their community and beyond.
