WHO WE ARE
The Workforce and Contractor Development Program focuses on preparing community members for living-wage, sustainable careers in critical sectors such as green construction, renewable energy, and early childhood education. Through culturally responsive workforce development, skills training, career navigation, and contractor support, the program helps break down systemic barriers, strengthen small businesses, and create pathways to long-term economic mobility.
Complementing these efforts, Good Growth Family Programs provide culturally grounded support that helps individuals and families build stability, resilience, and opportunity. By connecting families to resources, education, leadership development, and community networks, these programs strengthen the foundation that enables people to succeed at work, at home, and in their communities.
At its core, Good Growth is about creating pathways where Asian and Asian American individuals, families, workers, and entrepreneurs not only survive, but truly thrive. By investing in workforce development, contractor success, and family well-being together, Good Growth ensures communities are equipped to lead, prosper, and contribute meaningfully to Oregon's growing and evolving economy.
APANO's Good Growth initiative is rooted in the vision of building strong, thriving Asian and Asian American communities across Oregon through Workforce and Contractor Development and Family Programs.
