The Center offered two faculty workshops in November focusing on the Tell Show Do Feedback method as a means for teaching soft skills.  The workshops were held at Everett ITT and Clover Park Technical Colleges and are intended to give professional technical faculty an opportunity to reflect on how they're currently addressing soft skills, learn a new approach and exchange ideas and practices with other faculty.  A spring workshop will be announced soon.    

 
This Fall, ECE programs at Olympic, Pierce, and Yakima Valley began offering stackable credentials and academic advising to help ECE students connect with educational and community resources, and financial aid, called Early Achievers Opportunity Grants. Four additional colleges (Highline, Clark, Lower Columbia and Bates Technical) will begin Winter Quarter 2013.   For more complete information click here.
