Community of Practice

WA STATE CONSTRUCTION Community of Practice

With collaboration of a planning committee of the WA State Construction Center of Excellence Community of Practice, the COE will schedule and host three (3) quarterly meetings. These networking meetings will focus on work activities and identify outcomes that are specifically related to identifying skill gaps, and the demand/impact on program development.

The COE will assist the community of practice group with identifying key areas of common concerns and management challenges i.e. apprenticeship preparation development, apprenticeship admission barriers, trades and union recruitment, and program development, and will assist with developing strategies to resolve those challenges. Additionally, the COE will provide professional development to the Deans and Directors in areas of relevance and in the support of their roles as leaders in construction workforce development.
