Construction

The Columbia-Willamette Workforce Collaborative (CWWC) is a team effort between the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan region’s three workforce development boards: Workforce Southwest Washington, Clackamas Workforce Partnership, and Worksystems. Our mission is to provide a unified approach to serving industries, supporting economic growth, and directing public workforce investments in the region.

We work closely with various industries to create sector strategies that help identify and eliminate barriers to building and maintaining a skilled workforce in Construction, Early Care & Education, Healthcare, and Manufacturing. With guidance from local companies, we have set three goals to advance the construction workforce in our region.
