It's not about the Job anymore!

Competing in today's job market is tough. It's not about jobs anymore. It's about staying in the game.

Worker Retraining is designed to help unemployed individuals acquire the skills and training they need to return to work.

The program is a partnership between community and technical colleges and the state Employment Security Department to provide job training to eligible members of Washington's workforce.

The Worker Retraining program provides job-related training and job development services if you meet one of the following criteria:

  • You currently receive, or are eligible to receive unemployment benefits
  • You have exhausted unemployment benefits within the last 2 years
  • You are a displaced homemaker
  • You were self-employed but are now unemployed
  • You need more skills in order to keep your present job
