Training as a Path to an Equitable Post-Pandemic Recovery: Considerations Based on an Analysis of Washington State's Short-Term Training Participants and Outcomes
Tesfai, Lul
New America
Based on comprehensive data from the Washington Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board, this analysis explores short-term training programs, including which providers offer them and in which occupation-specific programs of study; the demographics of those who enroll in programs; and outcomes for program completers or graduates. Given limitations on the maintenance and matching of student-level data at the federal level, state-specific analyses of training program participation and outcomes provide the best glimpse into who accesses and benefits most from short-term training.
