| Notes |
Washington is continuing a Policy Academy for Work-Based Learning after receiving $40,000 from the National Governors Association to participate in a second phase.
This second phase continues previous work begun in 2016, when Washington was awarded a $100,000 grant from the NGA to create a policy framework to increase work-based learning for youth ages 16-29, particularly in STEM fields. The Workforce Board was honored to be asked by Governor Inslee to lead the effort on the policy academy.
The Workforce Board and the Washington Student Achievement Council co-chair the Core Team. (See sidebar.)
