The Worker Retraining (WRT) program plays a major role in Washington state’s economic development by providing funding for eligible dislocated and unemployed workers in training or retraining that will assist them in regaining employment. Funds are awarded to Washington state’s community and technical colleges each year to serve eligible students in this program.

WRCoord listserv emails will be transitioning to the Workforce Student Supports Canvas Community on August 1, 2020.  Contact Katelynn Orellana at korellana@sbctc.edu to join Canvas and get involved in conversations with your peers at other colleges.  The Workforce Student Supports Canvas Community is also your one-stop shop for program resources!
