[1] In addition to regular enrollment, LWTech offers a Technical Academy, a full-time special purpose high school program giving qualifying students, ages 16 to 20, an opportunity to complete their high school diploma and to earn a two-year college technical degree at the same time.

At first only offering a sewing program, it expanded to other vocations over the years, including automotive, culinary arts, and engineering.

[7] The college expanded again in 2004 with a satellite campus on the edge of Marymoor Park in Redmond replacing a small training building owned by the school that was formerly a missile-repair shop built during the Cold War as part of the Nike Ajax missile-defense system.

Lake Washington Institute of Technology's primary purpose is to prepare people for employment, career change, or upgrading occupational skills.

All technical courses offer job-related learning experiences and basic education skills, which are needed and in demand by the current job market.

[11] LWTech also offers the Bachelor of Technology in Applied Design (BTAD) program, the first in Washington State.

BTAD offers professionals working in the design field the opportunity to earn a four-year degree while obtaining management and supervisory skills.

This two-year Associate of Applied Science degree program, the only one in Washington, prepares students for employment as funeral directors or professional embalmers.

The memorandum that the three institutions signed outlines four areas for collaboration, which focus on students, faculty, industry, and applied research.

Hosted by LWTech’s Employment Resource Center in partnership with WorkSource [1]Snohomish and [2]King Counties, the job fairs feature dozens of companies that are in search of employees.
