Workforce Development
Workforce Development and Training is comprised of several different departments across campus and off campus which offer students and employers a variety of programs and services. Work-related training programs at Edmonds Community College range from one-day trainings to two-year professional-technical associate degrees. Support services include internship coordination, job search resources and job search coaching. Job fairs and employer panels are held throughout the year to help students connect with local employers.
For the business community, the college offers customized training, business advising, job postings, conference facilities, and the opportunity to support our training programs on industry advisory committees.
