WISE Executive Leadership Team

WISE logoThe WISE Executive Leadership Team provides oversight for a nearly $10 million U.S. Department of Labor TAACCCT Round 4 grant, called Washington Integrated Sector Employment (WISE). Comprised of members from industry (energy, advanced manufacturing and construction industries), organized labor and workforce development, the team provides strategic guidance to the WISE consortium and serves as a resource for partners to ensure grant goals are achieved. The consortium is comprised of three Washington state Centers of Excellence (Energy, Aerospace & Advanced Manufacturing and Construction) and eight community and technical colleges.
The Executive Leadership Team meets quarterly.
