Clackamas Community College and Oregon City School District Address Educational Challenges and Future Pathways

Clackamas Community College and Oregon City School District Address Educational Challenges and Future Pathways

Dr. Tim Cook, President of Clackamas Community College (CCC), and Dr. Sarah Crane, Assistant Superintendent of the Oregon City School District, recently discussed the state of education in Clackamas County at an Oregon City Business Alliance luncheon. They highlighted the impact of two voter-approved bonds totaling $293 million, which are funding campus rebuilds and facility upgrades. The discussion also focused on the expansion of career and technical education (CTE) pathways, which have grown from five to 14 in the school district, aligning with CCC's programs. Both leaders addressed the challenges posed by declining student enrollment, with Oregon's high school graduate numbers projected to fall by nearly 20% by 2041, and the financial strain from unfunded mandates.

HR Leaders Emphasize Cultural Competence to Combat Assumptions in Workplace Decisions

HR Leaders Emphasize Cultural Competence to Combat Assumptions in Workplace Decisions

HR leaders are increasingly recognizing the importance of cultural competence in the workplace to prevent assumptions from negatively influencing decisions about employees. Mark Hudson, Compliance Content Specialist, highlights that cultural competence helps individuals question their preconceived notions before making judgments about others.

The core issue arises when observations are turned into judgments without seeking further understanding, leading to potentially biased decisions. Traliant offers a 'Cultural Competence at Work Learning Topic' that uses realistic workplace scenarios to help employees identify and challenge their assumptions, encouraging them to ask questions, lis...
