Congratulations to
Workforce Snohomish
(supporting partners include Snohomish STEM and Skagit STEM Networks) for being named as a Career Connect Regional Network.
After a rigorous application process,
Career Connect Washington
announced they have selected 9 recipients to receive a $100,000 grant to develop or enhance Regional Networks as a part of Career Connect Washington, an initiative to connect young people with high-demand, high-wage careers in Washington. Most of the successful bids included participation by one or more of the STEM
Networks on their strategic leadership teams.
Regional Networks are the key to scaling career connected learning statewide and will play an integral role in convening and managing regional, cross-industry partnerships that will lead to expansion of
opportunities for Washington youth. This work will benefit students who face greater barriers to opportunity as well as the business community looking to recruit a new generation of workers.”
