What is the Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA)

The purpose of WIOA is to increase for individuals, particularly those individuals with barriers to employment, access to and opportunities for the employment, education, training, and support services they need to succeed in the labor market. Clackamas Community Colleges Workforce Development and Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization serves these and other adults and dislocated workers who generally live and/or work in Clackamas County in order to help them find jobs, keep jobs, and advance in jobs, with an additional special priority of service provided to veterans and their eligible spouses. The project promotes and supports skill development of the local workforce through the local integrated model of service provision in our local American Job Center, WorkSource Clackamas.

HOWTO: The State of Oregon is committed to ensuring that all Oregonians have appropriate access to high quality healthcare across the state. It is therefore important to ensure that the distribution of the healthcare workforce appropriately meets the needs of all Oregonians no matter where they live. In 2017, the Oregon Legislature passed HB 3261 to support the development of a robust and diverse healthcare workforce and established the Health Care Provider Incentive Fund within the Oregon Health Authority. Moneys from the fund are to support the development of the healthcare workforce in Oregon.

In order to help develop a healthcare workforce to meet all Oregonians’ needs, Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) collaborated on behalf of the Oregon Health Policy Board (OHPB) to make available grant funds as part of the Healthy Oregon Workforce Training Opportunity (HOWTO) grant program.

The HOWTO Grant program is intended to expand health professional training to address current and future shortages in the healthcare workforce in rural and medically underserved areas of Oregon. The program is designed to support innovative, community-based, training initiatives that will address identified local healthcare workforce shortages and expand the diversity of the health professional workforce.
