AMERICAN FORK, Utah, May 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Oregon has the 11th fastest growing state economy in the United States, attracting many Fortune 100 companies such as Nike, Intel, Daimler Truck, and more. The state has also grown significantly in key sectors, including manufacturing and healthcare.

This can be done by creating a stronger connection between education and career.

The report's findings reveal that Oregon students have the aptitude to excel in many sought-after careers, like computer & technology, advanced manufacturing, and health sciences.
In addition, the research revealed that female students may face biases that hinder them from pursuing career paths in which they have an aptitude.

This data was compared against the Career Clusters found in the National Career Clusters® Framework, representing 79 Career Pathways.
