East Cascades Works (EC Works) announced Klamath Works as the new WIOA Title 1B provider for Klamath and Lake Counties in our southern region. They were awarded both the Adult and Dislocated Worker and Youth Compass Program contracts. They will be delivering Adult and Dislocated Worker services at the WorkSource offices in both Klamath Falls and Lakeview and will house the Youth Compass Program at their offices located at 1930 South Sixth Street in Klamath Falls and at the WorkSource office in Lakeview.
“The additional funding provided through this contract will support and enhance the great work Klamath Works is already doing and we are excited for this opportunity to partner with them!” said EC Works Executive Director Heather Ficht.
The Youth Compass Program Klamath & Lake will provide opportunities for our communities’ young adults, ages 14-24, with an emphasis on disconnected/dropouts between ages 16 through 21, to access the supports and skills training necessary to become successful members of the workforce. The Youth Compass Program focuses on education programs, career exploration, work experience and job opportunities.
Adult and Dislocated Worker services, delivered at the WorkSource office, are for any adult who is at least 18 years of age or older, selective service registered, legal to work in the U.S. and an Oregon resident. This program helps jobseekers with basic career services such as career exploration, resume and cover letter writing, and interview preparation. There are also education/training scholarships and paid On-the-Job training opportunities as well.
November will be a transition month and we expect that all training services will be offered again by December 1. In the meantime, jobseekers are encouraged to go to the WorkSource office where they will receive support from our partners.
