Clean Energy Excellence
The Center of Excellence for Clean Energy is a statewide and regional resource that represents the interests of the energy industry and our labor partners, within the Washington State Community and Technical College system.

We convene industry and labor to help drive workforce development initiatives — and coordinate community college resources after industry and labor set the direction.
