The Olympic Workforce Development Council (OWDC) is comprised of businesses, labor representatives, public sector leaders, education and training providers. In conjunction with the Olympic Consortium Board, comprised of our three-county Commissioners, the OWDC staff collaborated to develop a local plan that align programs and services with the needs of our regional industry sectors, driving economic development and job growth.
To ensure a cohesive local plan, OWDC staff presented a draft plan to a panel of 5 OWDC members for their review and feedback on February 11, 2020. Feedback was incorporated into the draft plan and released for a 30-day public comment period.
Following the public comment period, the plan was presented to the Olympic Consortium Board for approval and submission to Workforce Training & Education Coordinating Board on April 17, 2020.
On May 12, 2020, OWDC executive director received acknowledgement letter of Olympic Consortium's local plan submission.
