Preserving Resources, Knowledge, and Impact for Washington's Community and Technical Colleges

Logos of all Centers of Excellence

This repository serves as a central location for Centers of Excellence and host colleges to submit materials for long-term preservation and future access.

Washington’s Centers of Excellence played a vital role in strengthening workforce education by connecting community and technical colleges and industry partners to ensure alignment between educational programs and the skills employers need. 

As state funding for Centers of Excellence concludes on June 30, 2026, SBCTC is establishing a central repository to preserve materials developed through the Centers' work. These resources represent years of collaboration, innovation, and expertise and may continue to support colleges, faculty, workforce educators, students, and industry partners in the future.

What Would You Like to Do?

Submit Materials

Upload reports, resources, archived website content, presentations, research, and other materials that should be preserved for future use. 

Please click on the link corresponding to your Center to upload your materials. 

If you are unable to use the repository, have a large volume of files, or prefer to submit materials directly, you may also email the repository administrator. We are happy to work with Centers and host colleges to identify the most practical method for transferring materials.
