Roadmap to Prosperity
Aligning Oregon’s Workforce for Statewide Prosperity
Overview
Governor Kotek’s Prosperity Roadmap sets a bold 2027 legislative framework to accelerate economic growth, retain local businesses, and move Oregon into the top 10 states for business and workforce quality. To support these goals, the Oregon Workforce Partnership (OWP) has developed a series of modernization recommendations designed to streamline leadership and bridge the gap between state policy and regional economic needs.
The Strategic Vision
The OWP recommendations focus on two primary time horizons: immediate administrative actions to be taken within the next six months and a robust legislative agenda for 2027. This dual-track approach ensures that the public workforce system—governed by the Workforce and Talent Development Board (WTDB) and delivered through nine Local Workforce Development Boards (LWDBs)—is fully equipped to drive the Roadmap’s success.
