- Education Lab is a yearlong project to spark meaningful conversations about education solutions in the Pacific Northwest.
- One of the top-performing programs is apprenticeships.
- Workers who complete an apprenticeship make, on average about $63,000 a year shortly after finishing a program.
- These students made about $29,000 a year — about $9,000 more than the control group.
- Some programs didn’t show much of an improvement, if any, on employability, and wages remained low.
- It shows how many students successfully graduated from programs at all of Washington’s public and private schools, how many are currently employed, and how much money they’re earning.
