Subject: Student Presentation/Work Based Learning Student Folder
Discussion: John distributed copies of the student folders that contained all the paperwork and forms that are required by the State to be enrolled in Work Based Learning. John discussed the requirements regarding employer visits that he, Jan and Judy are required to make to meet State standards. After discussion on the forms, John thanked the WBL Advisory Committee for their important role in revising one of the State required forms. This was the Worksite Learning Site Pre-qualification & Safety Assessment form that changed the Safety requirement checklist. The committee added the Assurance section to read “I confirm that this worksite is in compliance with all WISHA and OSHA safety and health regulations that are applicable to this business.” Many of our employers have stated what an important and time saving change this has been.
Subject: Job sites and Partnerships for Community involvement
Discussion: Lauren advised the committee that John and Jan’s students come to the program with jobs. Judy’s program is always in need of places of employment for entry level jobs. Tom suggested the new outlet mall and the Mill Creek Town center as possible sites and Dave suggested Wall Mart is adding another store on 128th. The committee will continue to address
what businesses we can target to provide additional opportunities for students.
Subject: Additional Advisory Members
Discussion: Lauren asked the committee if anyone had references of business members to add to the WBL committee. Jan suggested Matt Bench of Work Source and Judy suggested the new HR Director of Fred Meyer, where some of her students work.

Lauren will continue to add members to our committee for the next school year.
