Oregon Manufacturing Workforce Strategy Model

The Oregon Manufacturing Workforce Strategy Model represents how Oregon approached implementing its manufacturing workforce strategy to encourage industry-related organizations to share best practices, expand the reach of high-performance manufacturing practices throughout the state, fill the skilled worker shortage, and raise awareness of the importance of manufacturing to Oregon’s economy. The model itself is a best practice regarding implementation of workforce plans, and it provides a visual for “connecting the dots” among the various manufacturing related groups and initiatives.
