Scope of Work for Advance Tigard
Advance Tigard is a career advancement program primarily for adult-learner incumbent workers that provides
a match of city funds for education/training expenses when an employer and employee develop a career
pathway plan and make a financial commitment to advancing the employee's professional development.
This is a skills training scholarship program for City of Tigard residents and employees -- in any industry.
Advance Tigard funds support Tigard residents no matter where they are employed and Tigard employees
no matter where they live. The program can also pair with IRCO’s existing workforce programs to support
Tigard residents with training if they are in the process of searching for a job and need additional training.
The program empowers under-served and economically disadvantaged adult learners with
education/training funds for skill development to advance their careers as existing employees at local firms
with a career pathway that moves candidates from a minimum/low-wage to a higher-wage position with
their current employer.
Under-Served Residents: includes residents from minority and historically under-served populations
as well as socially and economically challenged backgrounds in the City of Tigard.
Adult Learners: who have passed the traditional age of higher education.
Incumbent Employees: are employed and have a potential career path with their current employer in
the City of Tigard.
Education/Training: professional development/certifications or similar that an employer recognizes
as a skill advancement (not tuition for a 2- or 4-year degree).
City funds must be matched with employer funds and/or employee contributions to cover a professional
development/training/certification agreed to by the employee, the employer and the city with a
recommendation from IRCO. The education experience must advance the skills of the employee in a way
that qualifies them for a new higher-paying position with their current employer.
Additionally, funding can be used when paired with IRCO programs and other funds to close a funding gap
for Tigard residents who need training to advance their career.
Eligible Expenses:
Funds can be used to support education for incumbent workers and residents as approved by the City of
Tigard’s economic development manager. Examples include:
A. IRCO Staff time to administer, market, and deliver business coaching to Tigard residents and
employees through the Advance Tigard program.
