Careers in Education start here.
Whether you’re exploring the education professions for the first time or you are an experienced educator, the Careers in Education Center of Excellence is the best place to learn and grow in the profession.
What We Do
The Center of Excellence for Careers in Education works across Washington’s education system to strengthen pathways into education careers, align training with real-world needs, and build a diverse, well-prepared workforce that reflects the students and communities they serve. We partner with colleges, K–12 districts, state agencies, and others to support high-quality preparation for a wide range of education roles.
Support the preparation and development of future educators.
In partnership with the Washington Education Association, the Future Native Teachers Initiative (FNTI) is an immersive teacher camp led by teachers and leaders from the Native American/Alaska Native communities.
Highlight and share best practices around the education system.
Issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion affect our entire education system. To address these systemic issues, the center partners with multiple stakeholders to facilitate the Teaching Equity Network, a collaboration that administers grants to local schools and organizations so they can address inequity wherever it may impact our students.
Create professional development and training opportunities for current education professionals.
The center administers the Workforce Deans Academy and convenes the academy’s advisory board to ensure the year-long event meets the needs of education professionals across Washington’s community and technical college system.
