The Workforce Investment Council will receive funding as part of a grant awarded to Oregon Manufacturing Partnership (OMEP). The grant, one of 25 awarded nationally, will preserve and create over 1,700 jobs in renewable energy industries. Called Renewable Northwest (ReNW), the grant proposal was written in partnership with four area workforce investment boards, six community colleges, several labor organizations, economic development partners and the WorkSource system. Nine different counties will be served.
ReNW, authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, will help build a skilled workforce to support companies that generate power and local manufacturers who produce products that support the industry. Grant funds will be used to increase the capacity of local area training providers to offer additional existing, industry-identified training; to analyze skills and production requirements of potential suppliers to the industries; and to train existing workers to meet changing needs of their companies around renewable energy. In the metro area, 37 companies have expressed interest in participating in the ReNW project including Miles Fiberglass in Clackamas County.
Training will begin this spring. In Clackamas County, $483,000 will be received to implement the grant.
