Job and Work Readiness Grant (JWR) is sponsored by Oregon Youth Development Division. This grant supports community-based youth development efforts in Oregon to develop skills that lead to and improve employment readiness.
It addresses historic inequity and disparities in educational and work readiness resources, focusing on youth disconnected from school, facing complex barriers to post-secondary transitions, and/or employed in jobs without clear paths to living-wage opportunities.
Programming includes high school completion, Essential Employability Skills training, and support for post-secondary transitions into training, internships, apprenticeships, industry-recognized credentials, and/or paid work experiences.
