About Us
A collaborative of agencies, as proud partners of the American Job Center Network, is working to secure a brighter future for individuals and the region.
This team is focusing on exposing job seekers to industries and sectors that they may not have initially considered, but that offer great opportunities in the Northwest. The agencies are connecting people with jobs and careers through suitable training and education programs that better prepare candidates to enter, re-engage or change gears in the workforce.
The current focus for this project includes four sectors: Construction, Health Care, Manufacturing and Technology. Each collaborative member has contributed to the development of the information and tools you will find on this website.
Collaborative members include Worksystems, Clackamas Workforce Partnership, and Workforce Southwest Washington.
