Jobs Program

Faculty, Life & Employment Development: 541-917-4875

The JOBS (Job Opportunities and Basic Skills) Program offers participants a unique opportunity to explore options available to them as they make life and career transitions. Staff members work closely with other college departments and community organizations to provide educational, professional, technical and counseling services as part of their comprehensive job training and educational programs.

The goal of the JOBS Program is to enable individuals to make the transition from public assistance to self-sufficiency. Students are referred by the Oregon Department of Human Services and work with college faculty to develop individual programs that help prepare them for full-time, unsubsidized employment. Instructional areas include life and career planning; adult basic education; short-term, intensive professional/technical training; work site training; job search instruction and job retention and career development.
