What We Do
As a non-profit organization, NOW focuses on workforce development in the Northwest Area which includes Benton, Clatsop, Columbia, Lincoln, and Tillamook counties. As the designated local workforce development board, NOW oversees and coordinates the public workforce system within the five-county area. The oversight and administration of workforce services for the Northwest Area is chartered to NOW’s Board of Directors in partnerships with the Northwest Oregon Workforce Consortium, an intergovernmental jurisdiction of a Commissioner from each of the five counties. NOW works on behalf of and in coordination with the Consortium in the five-county area. Not in this five county area? No problem.
