Local Policies & Guidelines

These local policies provide guidance for how workforce programs are implemented in Seattle-King County. They do not replace state or federal policies, but instead translate them into clear expectations for our region in alignment with federal, state, and local regulations. By setting standards for how services are delivered, they help ensure consistency, accountability, and equity across programs — including WIOA, EcSA, and other state and federal initiatives — in support of the Workforce Development Council’s mission to build a more inclusive and resilient workforce system.
