We are excited to announce that we have joined the National Skills Coalition’s newly formed WIOA Advisory Council. This council brings together over 20 leaders from 13 states and two tribal nations to help shape the future of the nation’s workforce system, just as Congress moves toward reauthorizing the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).

The Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County (WDC) is awarding five organizations Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA) grants to serve in-school and out-of-school youth with workforce services, including educational credential attainment, post-secondary placement, unsubsidized employment placements, training, and employment retention. The organizations were chosen for their proven experience serving youth, dedication and ability to prioritize racial equity, and capacity to implement high-quality services.
