To accomplish our mission of leading a regional workforce development system where every individual has access to high-quality employment and every business has access to a highly skilled workforce, we gain insight and understanding of local workforce needs through research.
Following are various plans and reports that have resulted.
The Columbia-Willamette Workforce Collaborative (CWWC) is a partnership that delivers a unified approach to serve the business community, support economic development, and guide public workforce investments in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area.
The Interstate Bridge provides a critical connection between Oregon and Washington that supports local jobs and families and is vital to regional, national, and international economies. WSW and its partners were contracted to conduct a Regional Infrastructure Workforce Market Study.
