Central Oregon Workforce Coordinating Council (WCC)

 

The Central Oregon Workforce Coordinating Council formed in 2009 as a strategic workforce development stakeholder group, for Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties. The Goals for the Workforce Coordinating Council are:

1. To identify priority workforce development needs, problems or challenges – to address barriers to businesses finding qualified workers and/or workers gaining the skills and information needed to become employed.

2. To coordinate those working on workforce development, economic development and business development, to ensure we are all working together, efficiently.

3. To sustain a high quality workforce development system in Central Oregon that is responsive to job seeker and business needs, through WorkSource Central Oregon.
