Program Goal

The WorkFirst Team at Yakima Valley Community College believes in the Washington state goal for welfare recipients and low-income working parents: "A job, a better job, a better life.”  The goal of WorkFirst is to help parents get jobs, exit welfare, and lift their families out of poverty.

One of the best ways to reach this goal is through education and training.  At Yakima Valley Community College, TANF recipients, post-TANF recipients (WPLEX), and low-income parents can receive the skills they need to make “a better life.”

At Yakima Valley Community College we believe in using the resources and partnerships available in order to enhance and provide the support our students need to be successful.
