Strategic Workforce Solutions |
 The Enterprise for Employment & Education
The Enterprise is a public-private partnership venture dedicated to strategic workforce solutions. We work with businesses, education and training organizations, county and state governments, foundations and non-profits to identify and address the current and future workforce needs of Marion, Polk and Yamhill counties..
Our Vision
The Enterprise exists so that the Mid-Willamette Valley will have the skilled workforce necessary for businesses to locate, stay and thrive here. We realize this vision through direct funding of workforce development activities, matching grants, and the development of sustainable programs.
Our Roles & Responsibilities
The Enterprise operates like a “trustee” for workforce development. We act as:
- • A scanner to identify workforce challenges and opportunities,
- • A convener of effective partnerships to create solutions,
- • A manager of resources to fund solutions, and an evaluator to ensure short term return on investment and identify long term trends and opportunities.
Our portfolio of investments
The Enterprise has invested over $50,000,000 into workforce development activities over the last decade, including:
- • Funding WorkSource Oregon Centers and a Youth Opportunity System;
- • Providing matching grants for businesses to “skill up” their current workforce and implement high performance workplace strategies;
- • Facilitating industry consortia to more effectively leverage training investments for larger numbers of companies and employees.
The Enterprise is an equal opportunity employer/program. Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities (TTY/TDD dial 7-1-1 or on-line at www.Sprintrelayonline.com)
