Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Local grants support training for job seekers

Oregon directs available Prosperity 10,000 funds to local workforce boards for coaching, training, job placement, support services, and paid work experiences. Boards also fund targeted recruitment and outreach. When funding nonprofits, schools, labor groups, and other providers, boards must weigh employer ties, experience, partnerships, partner qualifications, and other funding sources. Boards must also pursue strategies addressing worker shortages and job opportunities identified in their local plans. Funding depends on money appropriated for the program; no provider or participant is guaranteed an award.

Job seeker services gain focus, targets shrink

Prosperity 10,000’s revised goals stress stronger workforce services, navigation help, community career counseling, support services, and work-based learning. The law removes goals to enroll at least 10,000 people and have at least 75% earn $17 an hour. It keeps goals of at least 50% women participants, 80% program completion, and 75% employment. These are program goals, not guaranteed results for each person.
