dc.description.abstractExperience with the Federal Jobs in the Woods program and with Oregon salmon restoration efforts has shown that experienced and trained workers are having a hard time finding stable employment. Recognition of this problem led to a discussion in April 1999 among representatives from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, Oregon Economic Development Department, and the Ecosystem Workforce Program. The group concluded that the absence of communication and coordination between public and private land managers, contractors and members of the workforce in the ecosystem management industry is a contributing factor to the lack of employment opportunities for contractors and workers in the industry. In March 2000, EWP contracted the University of Oregon's Community Planning Workshop (CPW) to conduct a feasibility study of an ecosystem management industry clearinghouse. The purpose of the study is to assess the need for a clearinghouse that provides information to connect various components of the ecosystem management industry (e.g., contracting agencies, contractors, and workforce) and determine the best technical system to operate the clearinghouse. Organization for Economic Initiatives, Inc. funded this study. The Ecosystem Workforce Program (EWP) at the University of Oregon provided direction, organizational support and information on the ecosystem management industry.en_US
