Organization
 
Annual Performance Measures

The Oregon Workforce Investment Board (OWIB) is the overall advisory board to the Governor on workforce matters.  The OWIB is made up of leaders representing private sector businesses, labor, state, local governments and government agencies.  A majority of the nearly 40 members represent the private sector.  One of the chief duties of the OWIB is to assist the Governor by developing a five-year strategic plan for Oregon's comprehensive workforce system.
 
This system provides a wealth of services including job placement and training for youth and adults, employment-related services for veterans, the disabled, migrant farm workers, limited English speakers and other Oregonians in need of special assistance.  The system also serves employers by providing job listings and applicants, as well as testing, screening and labor market information.
