The Workforce Investment Board of Clackamas County is working with the Oregon Employment Department to gather partners at a WorkSource Forum on April 3rd.

The state needs the feedback of businesses, agencies, and others who are interested in workforce and emerging worker issues to improve workforce services for businesses and job seekers.  As a result, they are hosting sessions throughout Oregon over the next month.  Locally, our session will be held on April 3rd in Wilsonville.

These sessions are dialogues on how to deliver high value services to customers, including businesses, as well as how to better connect qualified workers with employers.

This is a critical step in the state’s effort to integrate services and redesign the workforce system to enhance Oregon’s competitive position.  It is one of those rare times when we have the ability to reexamine WorkSource as a system, rather than just one or two services at a time.

Your input helps local workforce investment boards and the Oregon Employment Department allocate resources where they are needed most. Without an honest dialogue with customers and service providers it will be nearly impossible to ensure workforce services are effectively deployed.

Please join them; your perspective truly matters!
