  • Governor’s Youth Employer Award for one private, public or non-profit employer that sponsors programs or events promoting employment preparation and job skills training for youths with disabilities.
  • The Governor’s Trophy for one individual with a disability who has empowered people with disabilities to succeed in the community and workforce.

The program is planned and organized by the GCDE in partnership with the Washington State Business Leadership Network.
