Why Workforce Education (WE)?

Our programs help people get the skills they need through Bellevue College’s Professional-Technical programs to enter or re-enter the workforce.

WE offers High-touch Advising and College Navigation.
WE programs provide “jump start” funding and assistance with the application for federal financial aid resources to sustain their educational plan.
WE advisors coordinate with DSHS and Employment Security in order to support students to keep their benefits while in training.

BFET (Basic Food Employment & Training) – for people receiving federal Food Stamps from DSHS
