Preferred Worker Placement Assistance Agreement
The Oregon Preferred Worker Placement Assistance Agreement (OP WPA) is a program designed to help businesses in Oregon recruit, hire, and retain qualified workers. This agreement is offered by the Oregon Employment Department and provides businesses with financial assistance to cover the costs of employee recruitment, training, and placement. The program is open to businesses of all sizes and sectors, including private-sector, public-sector, and nonprofit organizations. The agreement is a voluntary, incentive-based program that encourages employers to hire and retain Oregonians who have been unemployed for an extended period of time. Eligible businesses can receive up to $2,000 per employee for recruitment, training, and placement costs. Additionally, businesses can receive up to $500 for each employee that is retained for at least one year, up to a total of $5,000. The OP WPA is divided into three sub-programs: the Standard Agreement, the Targeted Agreement, and the Limited Agreement. The Standard Agreement is designed for businesses that hire no more than 25 workers per agreement period. The Targeted Agreement is designed for businesses that hire more than 25 workers but fewer than 75 per agreement period. The Limited Agreement is designed for businesses that hire more than 75 workers per agreement period. The OP WPA is designed to help businesses in Oregon fill positions with qualified workers, reduce turnover costs, and promote economic development. It is a great way for businesses to access financial assistance to cover the costs of recruiting, training, and placing workers in Oregon.
