OWIB Youth Council

Oregon Workforce Investment Board Youth Council

The Oregon Workforce Investment Board Youth Committee (also known as the State Youth Committee) is working to strengthen attention to the long-term issues facing youth systems and services in Oregon. As a catalyst for the development of a youth system that meets the needs of all Oregon youth, the Committee’s vision of a comprehensive youth development system is framed by four themes, which are the foundation of the system and basic tenets for serving all youth: employment preparation, education achievement, development and support, and leadership development.

Oregon School-to-Work

School-to-work is a teaching strategy to help students understand and explore the relationship between school and work, add relevancy to classroom learning and increase youth success in next steps after high school, including employment. It is based on the concept that education is more meaningful when students apply what they learn in school to real life, real work situations. Through this program, a network of state employees volunteer to provide career-related, work-based learning opportunities to youth and educators in state agencies throughout the State of Oregon.
