The Portland Business Journal continues the How Oregon Works series taking an in-depth look at workforce challenges and opportunities in the rapidly evolving world of work in Oregon. 

Take part in this discussion of workforce that will shape the future.  Join us as we navigate what the new world of work and dive into how the pandemic and technological advancements have dramatically changed How Oregon Works.

Plus, an update from John Taponga, President of ECOnorthwest on how employment is impacted by the pandemic.  Finally, we'll honor three individuals who have made a tremendous impact of advancing Oregon's Workforce of the Future.
