This webinar showcased how the <b><a href="https://www.washingtonworkforceportal.org/" id="LPlnk782035" title="https://www.washingtonworkforceportal.org/">Washington Workforce Portal</a></b> can help bridge the gap between education and employment by connecting
students to internships, work-based learning, and career exploration opportunities. It also highlighted success stories from colleges already integrating this tool into their student support and Guided Pathways efforts.</div>
