Oregon’s seven Local Workforce Investment Boards

OWP is informed and supported by a powerful brain trust – its board of directors, representing Oregon’s seven Local Workforce Investment Boards.  LWIBs are business-led private/public partnerships that invest into worker training based on community and industry needs.  Locally, they convene those with the skills and knowledge to create effective solutions to the workforce needs of business.  They create innovative program models and align and leverage resources for greater impact. This brain trust represents: 114 businesses and business associations, working in construction, manufacturing (from food processing to wood products to biotech and solar), healthcare, hospitality, staffing services and other sectors; 16 labor unionrepresentatives , non-profit organizations, locally elected officials, community colleges, school districts, educational service districts, governmental agencies, economic development organizations, tribal nations and universities.
