"I felt for the first time in my career the potential for advancement." Uplift Oregon, a program of RISE Partnership, recently launched a pilot of a first-of-its-kind career mobility program. This worker- and equity-centered initiative recruits State of Oregon employees who are looking for a career change, and provides the education and ongoing support they need to transition into in hard-to-fill positions in areas like Accounting or Tax Auditing. Like Whitney Johnson, the program manager, likes to say, "When labor and management come together to solve big challenges in workforce development, good things happen!" We're honored to support our first cohort of 30 state employees as they work toward their career goals, and thrilled to partner with SEIU Local 503, the State of Oregon, and Western Oregon University to bring this innovative program to life! https://lnkd.in/gCppmv4e
