Mid-Year Regional Meeting - Corvallis

Oregon Youth Works invites youth workforce partners to come together to reconnect and convene in peer-to-peer conversations around hot topics and needs across the youth workforce development spectrum. These meetings are aimed at engaging youth workforce program managers and coordinators who provide programming through Oregon Youth Corps, Oregon Conservation Corps, Oregon Youth Employment Program, ODHS TANF or YTEP, and WIOA. Staff from Local Workforce Development Boards, colleges/universities, and other partnerships are also encouraged to attend to further deepen and expand these connections.
