Called OregonWorks, the Web-based service is a collaborative effort. It uses software developed by the Software Association of Oregon in a unique partnership with the Oregon University System and the Business Education Compact. Participating institutions include all of Oregon's community colleges, public and independent colleges and universities.
Firms can register and post their own job orders right away.
The system automatically e-mails the company resumes of students looking for work in related categories. Similarly, undergraduate and graduate students can register on the site and post their resumes. Potential internship positions are e-mailed to them. The service will list opportunities in all job categories and there is no cost to either employer or student for using the service. We have found internships to be the most effective way to provide students the experience they need to qualify for a job and to attract potential employees to the industry.
