Abstract	The Opportunity Grant (OG) program is the Washington community and technical college system's dedicated financial aid program designed to help low-income students enroll in and complete programs leading to high-wage, high-demand careers. Washington's Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (I-BEST) program is a nationally recognized model for students pursuing professional-technical programs. It integrates literacy, work, and college-readiness skills so students can move through school and into living wage jobs as efficiently as possible. The primary goal of both the OG and I-BEST programs is to support students as they enroll in and efficiently and cost-effectively progress through programs leading to living wage jobs. Low-income, historically underserved students of color, and students with low academic readiness are the target populations to benefit from the programs. The following report is an evaluation of enrollments, demographics trends, completions, and employment outcomes for students participating in the OG, I-BEST, and both programs to answer the following questions: (1) What are the enrollment trends for students in each program, and how many participate in both?; (2) Who is accessing the programs? What are the demographics of students in each program and those who participate in both?; (3) What programs of study are students in each program enrolling in? What are the demographic trends in each program of study?; (4) What types of credentials do students who participate in the programs complete?; (5) What are students earning after they participate in the programs? Is there a difference by program of study and type of credential?; and (6) Is there is a difference in earnings for students before enrollment in college and after they leave, with or without a credential?
