The Skills Center began in 1983 as a cooperative educational venture among eight Southwest Washington School Districts. The vision of those districts was to create a school, in partnership with business, “to prepare students for the workforce” by offering them the opportunity to be trained in technical career areas too expensive for a single district to fund.
