A Skilled and Educated Workforce: An Assessment of the Number and Type of Higher Education and Training Credentials Required to Meet Employer Demand
Washington Higher Education Coordinating Board
This report represents one facet of a larger statewide higher education needs assessment that was produced by the HECB in October 2005, also in response to HB 3103. In contrast to the larger statewide assessment, which examines employer, community and student demands for education and training at the baccalaureate level and above, the following report compares employer demand to 2012 and the current output of students from one year of college through post-baccalaureate education. (Contains 13 endnotes, and 6 figures.)
