Today’s jobs require some kind of training or education beyond high school. However, too many students are leaving high school without ever getting the chance to learn about, or prepare for, real jobs. Even throughout their 20s, too many young people don’t know what jobs are “out there” or how to prepare for them. This is true whether they go straight to a 4-year college or not.
At the same time, many Washington employers are hiring people from outside our state because they can’t find local residents with the right training or qualifications. The state expects 740,000 job openings over the next five years – almost three quarters of which require a credential beyond high school.
