Thanks to the investments made by the National Fund for Workforce Solutions and SkillUp Washington Funder Collaborative members, we have had a unique opportunity to document, refine and streamline the work of Navigators in the College for Working Adults and Skill Link pilot initiatives.  The “Guide and Tools for Navigators” incorporates what we have learned and presents the main principles, tools and practices emerging from this work about the important and influential role that Navigators have on the college and career success of students.

We’d like to thank the many navigators involved in the College for Working Adults and Skill link pilot initiatives.  Their work and dedication have made a big difference in students’ lives.  This guide also reflects the comments and the experiences of the many students who have been involved in these initiatives, as well.  Thanks are also due to our other partners, including community colleges, community-based organizations, and workforce intermediaries, whose work helped inspire and influence this guide.

Examined here is the possibility of creating a similar Center in Southeast Seattle that could help people get an education, get a job, or grow a business, and the findings suggest that such an Economic Opportunity Center is needed in and desired by the community.
