The Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board is Washington's performance accountability agent, working on behalf of the state's citizens and employers.
The Workforce Board tracks the results and the taxpayer return on investment of 12 of the state’s largest workforce programs. These programs account for over 90 percent of the federal and state dollars spent on our state’s workforce development system.
The executive summary of the results provides a dashboard look at each of the 12 programs, including identifying progress and areas of improvements using the Washington Workforce Core Measures.
Here are the more detailed results for each program:
