College Success Foundation to Lay Off 100 Workers

A WARN alert has been issued for a large high school student assistance group operating in Bellevue and Puget Sound.

 The Collge Success Foundation to cease operations in Bellevue

 The CSF is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2000, and their website shows they have regional operations in Spokane, Yakima, Tacoma, and Seattle (Bellevue). They have served WA, as well as Washington D.C.

The WARN Alert (worker adjustment retraining notification) from Employment Security indicates their Bellevue (Seattle-area) office will be reducing about 100 workers, who are being laid off by July 9th.

The group primarily serves students, and high schools, in areas that have some of the lowest incomes and poverty rates in the state. They direct students to financial aid opportunities, scholarships, and other methods of obtaining a college education.

WARN Alerts do not contain any specifics about why a business or organization is reducing, only the legally-mandated reports on job cuts. The CSF came about in part under a program called the Washington State Commission on the Future of Post-Secondary Education under former Governor (at that time) Gary Locke.
