We are the ExpertsStrategistsConvenersCoordinators

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.

Workforce Board Priorities:

Workforce boards in Oregon are charged by the state with providing a ‘convening table’ for labor, economic development, elected officials, education, workforce development, and human service providers to create community-based solutions for today’s and tomorrow’s workforce challenges in order to assure that:

  • Oregonians have the skills they need to fill current and emerging high-wage, high-demand jobs.
  • Employers have the skilled workforce they need to remain competitive and contribute to local prosperity.
  • The workforce system is aligned, provides integrated services, and makes efficient and effective use of resources to achieve better outcomes for businesses and job seekers.
Let us join the conversation and help address your workforce challenges.

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 Clinics

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.

RecordSponge is software that helps community organizations quickly analyze an individual’s criminal history to determine if they qualify to have their records expunged.
