All About The Oregon Consortium & Oregon Workforce Alliance

Field Notes - Monty Johnson

Welcome to my blog.  I hope to utilize this space to share my experiences as I work in and learn about Workforce Development in rural Oregon.  My plans for this blog are to: share information on the unique challenges and opportunities for workforce development in rural Oregon; share information about TOC/OWA's activities and role in rural Oregon; and, present relevant stories, news and information.  I welcome useful and informative comments; I'm only just learning about workforce development and intend to keep learning!  Prerequisite disclaimer: the views expressed herein are mine and not necessarily representative of TOC or OWA.
