Regional community and technical colleges like Cascadia College, Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWTech) provide transfer degrees through related programs.

For currently employed and newly hired software engineers and data professionals,  the Corporate & Continuing Education Center (CCEC) offers software testing, quality assurance, data management, Cloud, and programming training. Classes are available at CCEC's locations in Bothell, Kirkland, or online.

"We just revised our  business intelligence certificate program to make it fully online," said CCEC Executive Director of Contract Training Ray Kubista. "Our goal is to make training options as convenient as possible for working professionals."

Kubista notes that professionals in technology fields are also able to take classes to help them better their management skills that might be necessary for them to take the next step up in their company. And businesses can even schedule  customized training through CCEC.

"We are fortunate enough to have educational options that meet a number of needs in our communities - whether it is degree programs preparing students to start a new job or transfer to a four year institution, or for more experienced employees to get advanced training." said Kubista. "There are plenty of opportunities to take advantage of high quality training to meet the growing needs of the technology industry around us."
