We are excited to welcome a new member to the NCTA Fire Science at Whatcom County (located at Meridian High School) - a retired fire engine from the City of Lynden! The fire engine is already making a big impact, providing students invaluable hands-on experience and allowing them to train on the equipment they will use in their careers. Fire science instructor Mark Wohlrab shared "It's all about hands-on experience. It's amazing for us, and it gives them a huge head start." We can't wait to see the skills students will develop with this addition to our program!

Skills Centers are part of the Washington State K-12 education system. As Washington moves forward with the 24 credit graduation requirement and personalized pathways for all students, it is important that students have multiple opportunities to meet their personalized pathway for graduation.
Skills centers play a role in helping students meet those personalized pathway requirements, providing advanced career and technical education opportunities. Students must be concurrently enrolled in their home high school and the skills center.
💲💵Funding for skills centers comes directly from state funding and grants.

Career and Technical Education Skill Centers:
Describing Programs, Students, and Student Outcomes
Background
Career and technical education skill centers are regional secondary schools providing hands-on learning across a range of education content areas (e.g., Architecture &
Construction, Health Science). Washington has 17 centers located across the state.
Findings
Access: Students in districts without access are evenly split across rural and urban locales. At the district level, districts with skill center access have larger enrollments, higher
median incomes, and lower poverty rates relative to districts with no access. Across geographic locale and content areas, skill center directors reported that enrollment demand exceeds
availability for a majority of skill center programs. About 3% of high school students enrolled in a skill center in AY 2023.
Student outcomes:
Across the 2013 through 2023 graduation cohorts, most skill center students (80%) earned a high school diploma. Less than 40% have earned a post-secondary credential five years after graduation, but nearly 70% are employed over that time frame. Only 10% of skill center students are not in education or employment five years after graduation.
