Sen. Wellman’s full remarks:<\/p>\n

The state of Washington has long recognized the value of \u201chands on\u201d education of \u201cwork integrated learning\u201d. We\u2019ve had Skill Centers since the 1970\u2019s and have an established program of registered apprenticeships.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But these have been targeted initiatives and localized programs.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now to respond to the needs of the 1.1 million students in our elementary schools, the time has come of invest in operationalizing these avenues to participation in a 21st Century economy. We need to build a new integrated SYSTEM from within our current education system.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve visited a number of career connected operations and have seen the buy-in by parents, educators and especially students.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The work that Maud and her team have done is exceptional. They listened.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I particularly commend them on paying attention to those barriers that affect our rural students and making sure this effort is directed at and will make a difference for those across our state for whom it is most needed and will be most significant.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
