About Us

The OREGON CHAPTER of The International Association of Workforce Professionals (IAWP) is a non-profit professional training organization. It is part of a worldwide organization of professionals employed in public and non-profit programs that provide Employment Services, Unemployment Insurance, Labor Market Information, Job Training and a variety of services related to the workforce needs of citizens, businesses and organizations.

Founded in 1913, IAWP predates much of the United States legislation that created and consolidated many of the programs that now comprise the national workforce development system. It is the oldest and most widely recognized organization for professionals working in employment programs, providing a myriad of services, benefits, educational programs, legislative awareness activities and recognition avenues for members and the organizations in which they are employed.

The mission of The International Association of Workforce Professionals is to ENHANCE member growth and development; to SERVE personnel in employment, unemployment, training and related programs; and to SUPPORT administrators and the agencies.

The OREGON CHAPTER extends a welcome to you and encourages you to contact us regarding membership in The International Association of Workforce Professionals.
