workforce system
equity focus.
Oregon Workforce Partnership recognizes that our impact is magnified when we embrace inclusion and diversity. As statewide leaders in workforce, we work to ensure all Oregonians possess the resources needed to develop the talent for our communities to thrive and prosper. Diversity expands pathways and opportunities for innovation and growth. We commit to embedding a justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion (JDEI) lens in our advocacy work, our practices, and to setting high expectations statewide that reinforce this stance. We believe every individual, regardless of their race, sexual orientation, ability, culture, color, age, or other distinguishing characteristic, has a right to the same opportunity to obtain quality, living-wage employment, entrepreneurship, or employment related training to reach their unique goals.
