Conclusion The Framework Is In Place; Now We Must Take Action The participants in the February 2024 convening at Central Washington University outlined a framework of key investments that begin in early childhood and extend through adulthood to support equity-centered learner access and success. The group of two dozen key educational, community, and workforce stakeholders emerged with a consensus that Washington has the potential to be a national leader in education. The participants also agree that our state has a promising future that can meet our ambitious workforce goals. Washington is well-positioned to achieve our shared goal for at least 70% of adults between 25 and 44 years old to possess a postsecondary credential, and this plan provides a framework for how we can achieve this objective.
Everyone at the table is eager to build upon an already-strong foundation that assures a rich quality of life for the people, industries, and communities we serve.
