We are the CoordinatorsConvenersExpertsStrategists
Oregon’s workforce boards drive workforce innovation, enhance training programs, and align workforce development with regional economic goals. Our efforts empower thousands of Oregonians to secure quality jobs, driving economic vitality and contributing over $160 million annually in tax revenue to the state of Oregon.
Reentry Programs
We provide leadership that promotes and advances Oregon’s workforce system to ensure all Oregonians possess the talent needed for communities to thrive and prosper. Local Workforce Development Boards (LWDBs) in Oregon have a proven track record of convening and coordinating workforce development efforts within their regions. They bring together diverse perspectives, including educational institutions, businesses, community organizations, and job seekers, to develop and implement effective workforce development plans that address the specific needs of their local economies and communities.
Expungement
Clean Slate clinics periodically offer free legal services to people seeking criminal record expungements. The clinic aims to help all our community members reduce barriers to employment, housing, and education that keep our community from enjoying the benefits of full participation and a clean slate forward.
our focus
The Oregon Workforce Partnership is a champion for workforce development to ensure our public workforce system is visible, effective, and innovative.
Oregon Workforce Partnership recognizes that our impact is magnified when we embrace people’s unique talents. 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.
We do this by:
- advocating for Oregon’s workforce
- collaborating for strategic advantages
- innovating and testing new ideas
“We need to get more Oregonians into training programs that will get them into career pathways and progress on those pathways to self-sufficiency and prosperity. We need them now.”
“As we build a recovery that lifts up every Oregonian, we must invest in our workforce. By increasing access to skills training and building up pathways to quality jobs, we can meet the needs of essential industries and put more Oregonians on the road to stability and prosperity.”
“In rural areas and across the state, the need for a strong workforce in the health care sector has never been greater. This bill will unlock Oregonians’ potential and support economic growth.”
