| About Building a Dynamic Workforce |

|
The Building a Dynamic Workforce website
is based on the premise that business, labor and government,
when acting together can dramatically address the skill
development needs of Oregon's workforce. This website is a
result of a dynamic collaboration between Oregon's business,
labor, education and workforce leaders, the Oregon Departments
of Community Colleges and Workforce Development, and Economic
and Community Development and many others. This
website is a forum for sharing ideas and information about
what's going on around the state. It is also a repository of
information where employers and agencies can learn from one
another and share resources. The goal is to connect business,
industry, labor unions and training/education providers to
resources that:
-
Enable workers to find stable employemnt and earn higher
wages
-
Enhance a company's ability to compete in a global
marketplace
-
Provide innovative resource strategies for businesses of all
sizes.
-
Cultivate partnerships
-
Develop an incumbant workforce network
-
Help businesses achieve higher levels of productivity and
quality
Workforceparters.org is maintained by the Oregon
Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development and
a Steering Committee of business, labor, government, education
and training providers.

Development is defined as the services that prepare individuals
