Employment and Training

We work with veterans to help them get jobs. Our Veteran employment program provides intensive, one-on-one workforce services to Clackamas County veterans from all military eras. Our services include co-case management with other veteran specific service providers including housing, social services, vocational rehabilitation. We coordinate wrap-around services with veteran specific organizations such as Tools for Troops, Fort Kennedy, local VFWs and more. Services are available for those veterans living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

CFCC works with low-income families receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Our programs help build skills, develop education and training plans and result in career path employment.

We work individually with each program participant to create a customized employment and training plan specific to the participant’s own goals. The Workforce team also provides connections to wrap-around services, subsidized employment training opportunities and helps with work required tools, clothing, certificates and transportation.
