Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges AI policy
In short
Rules depend on the grant program. For the Job Skills Program, colleges may use AI for clarity, organization, and editing, are discouraged but not prohibited from using it to generate substantive content, and must make sure all facts and data are human-verified; SBCTC will not use AI to score applications. The Hospital Employee Education and Training (HEET) program asks applicants to describe the extent to which generative AI was used to develop and write the proposal.
For applicants
- For the Job Skills Program, colleges may use AI tools to support clarity, organization, logic and sequencing, and editing. Applicants are discouraged but not prohibited from using AI to generate substantive content.[1]
- Job Skills Program applicants must ensure that all facts, references, proposals, and data in the application are human-verified as factual.[1]
- For the HEET program, applicants are asked to describe the extent to which generative AI was used to develop the proposal and write the application, and how it was used.[2]
For reviewers
- For the Job Skills Program, SBCTC will not use AI to score or assess individual applications, and a college's use of AI in preparing its proposal will not affect scoring.[1]
