Green River College collaborates with the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) and the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) to deliver the Basic Food Employment & Training program. Due to delays in the passage of federal and state spending legislation, the BFET program has been impacted by ongoing budget and contract negotiations.
As a result, and until further guidance is received from the SBCTC, all BFET services (including but not limited to tuition funds and/or holds, childcare services, transportation support, and reverse referrals) are temporarily paused.
If you have questions regarding your funding or need assistance, please contact us at workforce@greenriver.edu.
