Washington students have big dreams for their futures, and our state’s economy is ready for them.
Post-high school credentials are increasingly essential to succeed in the jobs available in our state. But recent data show an alarming trend — much of the progress made in increasing the rate of credential attainment for Washingtonians was wiped out by the pandemic.
What is the way forward? Let’s work together to invest in students’ pathways to success. We remain committed to our goal that 70% of Washington students earn a degree, apprenticeship, certificate, or other credential after high school.
Read about our 2024 priorities.
Join us in shared action to ensure Washingtonians have the opportunities to earn a credential or degree.

The Path to 70%
Our state’s economy depends on students completing post-high school credentials, such as a degree, apprenticeship, or certificate. Even before the pandemic, post-high school education enrollment and credential attainment rates had flattened. The need is urgent, and our goal remains the same: 70% of our students earn a degree, apprenticeship, certificate or other credential after high school.
