We approve veterans programs

The Workforce Board is considered one of two State Approving Agencies in Washington state, charged by federal law with the responsibiity of approving programs offered at public and private educational institutions statewide for veterans and those eligible for GI Bill education benefits. The other responsible agency is the Higher Education Coordinating Board, which approves bachelor's programs at public four-year institutions and proprietary colleges, academic transfer programs at community colleges, on-the-job training and apprenticeship programs and certification exams.

The Workforce Board approves:

• All career and technical programs, including transfer programs, at public technical colleges
• High school diploma programs and associate general studies programs at both community and technical colleges
• Certificate programs at private vocational schools
• Certificate programs at private four-year public institutions
• Associate degrees and certificates (non-bachelor) at private proprietary colleges
• Licensing exams
