OTC - Easing the Transition for Top Talent

Relocating can be a significant hurdle when hiring from outside the area, particularly if your candidate has a partner. Our Oregon Talent Concierge (OTC) service simplifies this process by connecting their partner with local job opportunities, making an offer more appealing. Learn more about how OTC can ease the transition for new hires.

Sector Strategy Initiatives

CEDO implements a targeted approach to developing specific industry sectors that align with regional strengths and opportunities. By focusing on these sectors, we aim to drive economic growth, create high-wage jobs, and foster innovation.

"It’s more than just recruiting high-wage companies; this community is small enough that a handful of volunteers can make a huge difference."

Collaborate with Intention

We believe that the vision of bringing the local median income to that of the national average requires new thinking and a strategy that is anchored in authentic regional partnerships. Collaborative EDO invites anyone interested in joining the work of economic development in Lane County to reach out.
