BOLI Lunch and Learn

The Oregon Employer Council is dedicated to connecting employers to resources and education, partnering with communities and government agencies to promote workforce development. We are pleased to partner with the Oregon Bureau of Labor & Industries to bring this Lunch & Learn to the employers of Lane County and help restart our Lane County OEC Chapter.

The Lunch & Learn will include presentations on two extremely topical HR topics presented by Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI), full details below. You will also learn about the Oregon Employer Council, the benefits a local OEC chapter can bring, and how to get involved in rebuilding the Lane County OEC chapter. Membership to OEC is free, and by joining and supporting your local council, you can make a difference in local employment and training issues, and create a vital link between business, education, government, and the workforce.
