Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! No matter where you’re starting, if you’re a 16-24 year old in Snohomish County, we can help you explore your options, then create a goal and a plan to get you there.

A four-year degree is not the only path to a good-paying job. Other options include apprenticeships, on-the-job training, and short- and long-term certification programs. Together, our team will help you learn about the many paths to success.

Many of our participants are also in this very tough position. We can help you find a job while assisting with long-term career mapping, including putting together a workable plan to fit classes and/or trainings into your life and resources to help you pay for them.

All our services are free. All you need to do is come in and we’ll get to work with you.

Our staff travel throughout Snohomish County, offering support in community locations on a rotating schedule and by appointment. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please e-mail info@snococonnect.org or call 425-374-8351.
