The Clackamas Workforce Partnership is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to building a strong workforce in Clackamas County. Through public-private partnerships, we attract funding to help local businesses proactively address a key challenge to their success—a skilled, competitive workforce. As a convener of public-private partnerships, we oversee the public workforce system in Clackamas County. Our work is to help our system work better on behalf of all of our customers.
Clackamas Workforce Partnership convenes service providers and partners in workforce development, social/human services, education, and other community-based organizations serving the public through the Workforce Partner Network (WPN).
The WPN creates opportunities for learning, sharing information on their organizations/agencies, specific events or initiatives, and resources/opportunities in the county and region.
The Clackamas Workforce Partnership makes a significant economic contribution to the regional economy. It helps move people into jobs and increases their earning potential. It benefits the business community by filling hiring needs, enhancing worker productivity through training, and stimulating consumer spending. Finally, the public as a whole benefits from reduced unemployment rates and a positive return on government investment.
Local workforce development boards typically braid multiple public and private funding streams, with core “sources” coming from federal programs such as the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Title I Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth funds, employment services, TANF and SNAP Employment & Training, plus state general funds, special initiatives and related foundations.
