We are thrilled to announce that thanks to the $10,000 grant from Coastal Community Bank, which was matched and tripled by FHLB, Workforce Snohomish has received a total of $40,000 to help fund our Financial Empowerment Unit.

We are excited to announce our partnership with Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) to launch a pilot Financial Opportunity Center program right here in Snohomish County! Through this collaboration, Workforce Snohomish will help individuals and families achieve greater financial security by integrating holistic financial coaching services into workforce development programs. With LISC's support, we are building pathways to prosperity and personal well-being, working together to improve access to economic opportunity and financial security for all households in Snohomish County. This partnership comes at a pivotal time as LISC recently received a generous $65 million donation from MacKenzie Scott and Yield Giving, enabling their continued commitment to closing gaps in health, wealth, and opportunity. We’re proud to be part of this transformative work and excited to bring these powerful resources and impact to our region.

Did you know? Apprenticeships not only create pathways to great careers, but they also offer a significant return on investment for employers. The median estimate of the employer’s return on investment in Registered Apprenticeship is 44.3%. By supporting workforce development through apprenticeships, employers can build a skilled, dedicated workforce while contributing to the economic growth of their communities. #NAW2024 #ApprenticeshipUSA
