Fixing the Broken Marketplace: A Statewide Look at Washington’s Education-to-Career Pathways

League of Education Voters (LEV) partner organization Washington STEM is tackling a growing disconnect: too many students lack equitable pathways from high school to family-sustaining careers, deepening the state’s K-shaped economic divide. Compounding this, there’s no unified statewide scorecard or “north star” set of outcomes across the education-to-workforce continuum, making it hard to know what’s working and where to focus.

With support from the Schultz Family Foundation and in partnership with HarrisX Research, Washington STEM has conducted a landscape analysis — including a deep dive into the King County marketplace — to identify where pathways are working, where they break down, who’s being left behind, and what we can do to fix the “broken marketplace.”

As an advisory member to this work, LEV is excited to host this upcoming LEVinar. Join us to hear these findings and what’s next as we build a statewide system that aligns partners, strengthens data use, and drives accountability for student outcomes.

Moderated by League of Education Voters CEO Arik Korman.
