Work-Based Learning
Work-based learning is a strategic approach to building and retaining your future workforce. These programs provide real-life workplace experience and exposure to industries, occupations, and companies, creating career pathways to livable and higher-wage jobs.
We can connect you with local organizations and program partners to link talent to internships, apprenticeship preparation, and apprenticeship opportunities. Explore current apprenticeship programs and apprentices in WA State and WIOA funding to support apprenticeship.
