Do you enjoy hands-on learning? Are you hoping to join the workforce somewhat soon? You may want to consider a technical college or career program.

Career and technical programs vary widely in subject, length, cost, and other aspects. But they have one thing in common: an emphasis on training for a specific career, such as medical assistant, computer specialist, automotive technician, hairstylist, and many more.

There are many career and technical education options, including programs at Washington’s 34 community and technical colleges. Whatever you choose to do, the new Washington College Grant is helping more students pay for college or training than ever before.

Before selecting a program, you’ll want to do your homework:

• Learn more about fields you are interested in:
  • Visit the Washington Career Bridge website to explore career clusters and take a quiz to connect your interests with potential careers.
  • Once you know what jobs you might like, use the College and Career Compass to find related training programs and connect with a campus.
  • Speak with local employers about work opportunities. See if you can shadow someone on the job.
• Research any schools or programs you are considering:
  • Get the details of admissions requirements and transfer policies. For private career schools, look into their reputation and licensure status.
  • Find out how the school helps students pay for their education. Talk to the campus financial aid office about state and federal financial aid opportunities.

People who can build networks, develop apps and secure devices can bring ideas to life!  Take a free course with NetAcad and join a growing number of global problem solvers who innovate like technologists, think like entrepreneurs and act as social change agents.

Check out our free, online, self-paced exploratory courses!

The ACE Mentor Program of Washington is gearing up for an exciting 2020-2021 program! The 2019-2020 school year was unlike any other and due to COVID-19, all the ACE teams suspended in-person meetings and completed their projects virtually. While we look forward to being able to meet in groups again, at this time we are committed to continuing with a virtual ACE program.

Registration is now OPEN.  Click here for instructions on how to participate.

We anticipate that this year’s program will comprise about 20 meetings, 90 minutes each, from November to May. We still anticipate teams will be centered around Seattle, Bellevue, and Tacoma, although geographic boundaries do not need to necessarily govern team assignment with a virtual program!

The Kickoff events will be team-based and virtual, held the last week of October, while the first team meetings will be in November. Register today and we will send more information about the program as it becomes available.

2021 Essay Contest Topic

What characteristics lead to a successful effort by diplomats and peacebuilders to mediate or prevent violent conflict? The United States Foreign Service—often referred to as America’s first line of defense—works to prevent conflict from breaking out abroad and threats from coming to our shores. Peacebuilders work on the ground to create the conditions for peace and resolve conflicts where they are most needed.

Successful essays will identify, in no more than 1,250 words, a situation where diplomats worked on a peacebuilding initiative with partners from the country/region in question, nongovernmental organizations, and other parts of the U.S. government, and then go on to analyze what characteristics and approaches made the enterprise a success.
