It is a challenging time – a global pandemic and devastating wildfires have sidelined many workers and impacted our businesses. Now we must find ways to come back together to Rebuild our Workforce, the way we Learn and the way we Partner!

The Oregon Workforce Partnership (OWP) provides leadership that promotes and advances Oregon’s workforce system. Our WORKing Together conference brings together businesses, educators, public agency leaders, community-based organizations, and workforce professionals to explore local, state and national best practices, emerging workforce trends and innovative solutions.

This year our conference theme is Rebuilding.

We are interested in proposals from individuals, groups and/or organizations to present a session at the conference. We encourage proposals that can foster learning communities and generate great discussions and interactive dialogue as we seek solutions together. Proposals should showcase innovative approaches, practices and models.

We’re on Your Side for a Better Future.
