The United States is experiencing enormously disruptive shifts in our economy. We must continue to redefine and rethink our education and workforce systems to ensure economic security for our workers and companies. governor.wa.gov/news-media/ins… #futureofwork
Washington state is one of the top economies in the nation and a big part of that is our investments in our people, particularly when it comes to education.
I look forward to working with my fellow governors on ways to promote early learning and encourage the expansion of career-connected learning opportunities. These efforts are so crucial to opening up career pathways for each and every one of our nation’s students. #WeTheStates
One of the most interesting challenges facing governors today is how to prepare for changing economic and workforce trends. @NatlGovsAssoc #NGAInSantaFe 
The global jobs landscape is changing with advances in technology, shifting demographics, labor mobility and evolving talent needs. These changes bring uncertainty and anxiety for many. We must make sure all our workers and communities have a place in the economy. #WeTheStates
An automated future that increases the impact and effectiveness of our workers instead of displacing them is a goal that every governor should work toward. #WeTheStates
States are stepping up to lead on everything from climate and health care to education and workforce development. Morning panel w/govs from across the US at #NGAInSantaFe explores how states like WA are supporting a growing outdoor recreation industry. #WeTheStates @NatlGovsAssoc
The trails, trees, mountains and waters of our state are woven into the DNA of every Washingtonian. It’s one reason why the outdoor recreation industry is so strong here: medium.com/wagovernor/out…
Washington is a national leader in outdoor recreation with one of the biggest and best state parks systems in the country. And efforts like #nochildleftinside help connect outdoor recreation, conservation, youth participation and climate policy.
Higher education must be at the center of our economic development strategies. All states need a skilled workforce to attract the jobs that are the lifeblood of our economy. @NatlGovsAssoc #WeTheStates
Washington state is leading the nation in growing career-connected learning opportunities, such as registered apprenticeships.
We need Congress to reauthorize the Higher Education Act in a bipartisan way that really works for students & families. We will not stand for partisan efforts to gut federal financial aid, exacerbate student debt, or limit student protections around loan debt & service providers.
