​OUR MISSION

is to provide comprehensive vocational assistance services for all job seekers regardless of personal circumstances, to match qualified candidates to appropriate job openings, and to increase the vocational skills of Western Washington job seekers and employees to meet the emerging need of employers.   Through our work, we hope to positively affect the lives of individuals, the local labor market, employee productivity, and the economic strength of our regional employers.  We strive to assist all disadvantaged job seekers, including disabled, veteran, homeless, public benefit recipients, Limited English Proficient (LEP), low-basic skills, illiterate, mature workers (55+), minority (including race, ethnicity, and religion), and long-term unemployed.

It is our goal to maintain diversity in funding that allows us to serve all job seekers and employers equally, without ever having to refuse services.   We envision our work as an integrated and integral part of the local labor market service initiatives put forth by all regional funders, workforce development agencies, government entities, and community based organizations.  We strive to weave our services into the fabric of assistance models existing within Western Washington and collaborate with other service providers to ensure all-inclusive services.  We achieve these goals by training job seekers in emergent labor market sectors, while respecting vocational diversity and customer choice.
