The Legislative Assembly finds that a robust and effective workforce system is necessary to produce a highly skilled workforce, to advance more Oregonians into family wage jobs and to help Oregon businesses compete in a global economy. Therefore, the Legislative Assembly declares that it is the policy of this state to promote the coordinated provision of education, employment, economic development and job training to:
(1) Develop a workforce system that is flexible, accountable, outcome-focused and data-driven;
(2) Meet the needs of employers for skilled, committed and innovative employees;
(3) Deliver an effective, efficient, highly integrated and responsive workforce system;
(4) Offer services;
(5) Ensure equity in program access, services and outcomes for populations that have historically experienced high levels of unemployment, underemployment and poverty;
(6) Provide greater economic security and grow a more inclusive and dynamic economy;
(7) Support the economic health of local communities throughout this state with workforce solutions that meet community needs and advance the prosperity of Oregonians and Oregon-based businesses;
(8) Build on the WorkSource Oregon network of state workforce agencies, local workforce investment boards, public and private secondary and post-secondary institutions of education and other public and private partners to deliver a comprehensive, robust and outcome-oriented array of services to unemployed and underemployed individuals and to businesses seeking employees; and
(9) Support the achievement of Oregon's 40-40-20 goal in conjunction with the education system and private industry to ensure that more Oregonians may access opportunities to gain skills and earn credentials to support their employment goals.
