Work Force Development Center
Founded in 1991, Work Force Development Center, a social enterprise nonprofit 501 (c)(3) aerospace manufacturing company that provides vocational training and job placement assistance to at-risk high school juniors and seniors challenged by disabilities and/or socioeconomic disadvantages to facilitate their respective journeys into the future work force.
Work Force Development Center currently works in conjunction with 36 Snohomish, North King, and Island County high schools in providing a safe and structured aerospace manufacturing environment that allows students the opportunity to develop skills within the assembly/manufacturing/machining fields that they may not have had otherwise.
Work Force Development Center works in successful and continual partnership, providing significant outsourcing needs with several major companies in the aviation, wire harness, CNC machining and automotive fields. We are in constant search for more companies to add to our current customer base.
Being that we are self supporting, Work Force Development Center’s student count is directly related to the amount of work we have in-house at any given time. In short, the more work we have, the more students we are able to serve.
