Our Goal
The King-Pierce County Regional Network of Career Connect Washington includes industry, labor, education, and community leaders. We strive to create work-based and academic programs to help students achieve the skills and credentials needed for meaningful careers.
Two Counties, Four Partners
The Regional Network is made up of four partnering organizations—Washington Alliance for Better Schools, College Success Foundation, Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County and WorkForce Central. These partners offer their own career-connected programs and support intermediary organizations to create new opportunities. Together we form the King-Pierce Regional Network of Career Connect Washington. FIND LOCAL EVENTS
