Moratorium on Office Careers Retraining Plans

Moratorium on Office Careers Retraining
Plans
Local media recently aired a series of investigative reports on Office Careers, a private
vocational school. The allegations center on whether the school is adequately preparing
students with the skills they need for employment.
L&I initiated an audit last year based on similar complaints. The audit is still in
progress. Additionally, the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board (Workforce
Board) opened an investigation into the school last week.
Effective immediately, L&I is instituting a moratorium on approving any new retraining plans
for Office Careers. This will remain in effect pending the results of our audit and/or the
Workforce Board investigation. We will announce any changes to this process.
Please share this message with your staff. Thank you for your partnership in helping workers
heal and return to work.
