What is
the WDC?
Our Mission
The mission of the WDC is to increase local degree/credential attainment and workforce outcomes in and across Jackson County.
❋ Local Attainment Goal :
Jackson county was at 32.4% attainment in 2019 when 60 by 30 was announced, and we are projected to reach 38.5% attainment by 2030.
Our goal is 40% by 2030 (ages 25+) This would exceed the state's targeted attainment increase, putting our us at a 22% increase in degree and credential attainment
The Workforce Development Collaborative brings together partners across education, workforce development, economic development, and employment to strengthen Jackson County’s workforce ecosystem. The Collaborative works to increase postsecondary attainment, strengthen employer engagement, expand opportunities for adult learners, and advance regional workforce strategies through collaborative planning.
