Why engage?
Unions play a key role in protecting worker rights, promoting occupations with good wages and benefits, and providing insight for Technical Advisory Committees.
Washington’s Centers of Excellence partner with organized labor to understand trends in industry, promote pathways into good union jobs, and co-host events.
Access and Develop Apprenticeships
Union apprenticeship, where apprentices learn on the job and earn credits for classes at local community and technical colleges, is an important and growing workforce strategy across industries including construction, manufacturing, healthcare, clean energy, and more.
