Senate Page, Bo Bjordahl, asks members of the Senate Higher Education and Workforce Development Committee about what needs to be done in the legislature to ensure that people who take a non-traditional path after high school are valued in the workplace. Chair T’wina Nobles, Democrat, and Ranking Member Judy Warnick, Republican, respond.
Question:
While researching enrollment rates at the Washington Achievement Council, I learned that currently there are more students enrolled in CTC’s than in 4 year colleges. As the number of adults with non-traditional college education grows, what laws will need to be passed to best ensure that both paths are equally valued in the workplace?
