The Workforce Board, at the direction of the state Legislature, has launched the Workplace-Based Digital Learning Initiative to find ways to expand access to education and training for Washington residents, especially working adults.
More than one out of three Washington high school graduates do not carry on with their education in the year following graduation. Instead, they go directly to work, relying exclusively on their high school diploma to gain entry into mostly low-wage, low-skill jobs. Many adults will continue to postpone their plans for further education because of the need to work and support themselves and their families. Yet, on average, an individual needs at least one year of postsecondary education and a credential to have a job that pays enough to support oneself and one’s family.
To ensure more working-age adults access education and training, we need to develop more portable and flexible education delivery methods through digital learning, including providing education and training at the workplace.
