Career Launch Enrollment and Equipment Funds
Does your college offer certificates or degrees that combine meaningful, high-quality on-the-job experience with classroom learning?  If so, have you considered a Career Launch endorsement?
To be designated as a Career Launch program, the program must first be endorsed or a  WA state registered apprenticeship. This endorsement also unlocks the door for certain types of state funding. Learn more about the endorsement and the program review process.<https://www.sbctc.edu/career-launch/career-launch-endorsement-review.aspx>
