Welcome Back in 2025`

 Welcome to 2025, CTE Team!

I hope this post finds you all well and that you enjoyed the kind of Winter Break that you and your loved ones wished for.

The next two weeks will be quite busy in the CTE office as we prepare the required documentation for our audit. If you receive a support request, please know that we are required to provide anything OSPI asks for. The deadline for the first review is mid-January, so timeliness is critical. If we’ve stayed consistent with our documentation over the past couple of years, we should be in good alignment with expectations.

This Week’s Highlights

  • OHS and CTE Monthly Meeting
  • 1:1 Meetings & Conditional Certification Documentation: Scheduling for individuals with certifications expiring in 2025.
  • Sector Strategy: Employer Engagement Discussion.
  • Board Meeting (Thursday Evening): Finalization and presentation of the Outcome 2 Monitoring Report, which includes updates on your Industry Recognized Credential offerings.
  • Thurston Chamber: Business & Education collaboration.

Thank you all for your hard work and dedication. Wishing you an excellent rest of the week!
