The Oregon Climate Workforce Workgroup was born out of the national American Climate Corps initiative. State Service Commissions, like OregonServes, were invited to partner alongside federal, state, and community-based institutions to offer paid workforce training and service opportunities that address workforce, resiliency, energy, infrastructure, and economic needs impacted by climate and policy. Alliance members will have the opportunity to learn about statewide efforts and share mutual resources that bring us together and align our respective work.
The Oregon Climate Workforce Workgroup aims to strengthen regional connections and workforce pathways to in-demand climate resilience and clean energy careers for Oregon’s future.
Become an alliance member to engage in quarterly convenings, access a collaborative Basecamp space, and stay up to date on statewide developments, collaborations, and funding opportunities.
