The Columbia-Willamette Workforce Collaborative (CWWC) is a partnership that delivers a unified approach to serve the business community, support economic development, and guide public workforce investments in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. Clackamas Workforce Partnership, Workforce Southwest Washington and Worksystems partner to form CWWC and serve Clark, Cowlitz, Wahkiakum, Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties across Washington and Oregon.
