mission is to provide education leading to the
competencies that meet business and industry
standards for the diverse workforce of today and

to achieve an ambitious, visionary and inclusive
Strategic Plan. The 2002-2007 Strategic Plan is
comprehensive in its effort to build up our
instructional programs while enhancing our
workplace excellence standards and strengthening
our community engagement. The 2002-2007 Plan
set a high bar for Clover Park Technical College
staff and students to reach including updated
vision and mission statements and eight Strategic
Leadership Goals. From our 2004 Accreditation
Visit, we learned that we are on track to fulfill
our mission and incorporate aspects of the
Strategic Plan into our daily routine. We also
learned that there is continued work to be done
to ensure that Clover Park Technical College is a
world class college. This summary of the
progress we have made toward achieving our
Strategic Leadership Goals illustrates that the
2002-2007 Strategic Plan has empowered the
college community to construct a strong
foundation of success for our future. This is
also an appropriate time for the college
community to reflect upon how far we have come as
an institution and the direction in which we want
to proceed in the next five years. We can be
very proud as an institution that we will
continue Building a Foundation of Success.
