ABOUT US

The Southwestern Oregon Workforce Investment Board is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving Coos, Curry and Douglas Counties. 

​

We make collaborative, innovative and effective investments of private and public resources to improve regional workforce skills, expand access to family-sustaining job opportunities, and enhance adaptability in a changing employment landscape.

​

Through private grants, donations, and public funding we create job training, skill upgrade, apprenticeship and internship opportunities, focusing on employment benefiting the individual and the community. 

​

Our work is guided by data and the perspectives of a wide variety of regional employers, economic development groups, local educators, and local governments. Similar values and goals guide our oversight of regional implementation of government-funded workforce programs and services.
