Washington's community and technical colleges have an open door policy that gives everyone a fair shot at enrolling in college and improving their lives if they have the drive and determination. They accept students at any age and stage in their lives and at any educational level. They take students from where they are, to where they want to be. This brief report discusses how community and technical colleges continually develop and improve ways to move more students through school and into jobs faster. The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and national completion rates are also discussed.
