Equal Opportunity, Disability Accommodations and Affirmative Action

Nondiscrimination and Equal Employment Opportunity

CCC is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and we are accountable to the federal government to report baseline outcomes related to workplace representation; however, our commitment to non-discriminatory outcomes extends beyond compliance. CCC is committed to being an inclusive and anti-racist workplace. We are actively implementing measurable approaches to embed diversity, equity and inclusion in each element of our organization.

As an organization, CCC is committed to embracing and actively supporting a diverse workforce. We promote a culture of inclusion where the personal dignity and worth of each individual is valued and celebrated. In order to achieve this objective, we must hire and inspire the right people to do the right work. We strive to hire a workforce that contributes to diversity of thought through intersectional identities. All applicants will be considered without regard to protected classes.

Employees and Applicants with Disabilities 

We encourage people with disabilities to apply for any employment opportunity for which they are qualified. Requests for reasonable accommodation can be directed to the our Human Resources department at (503) 294-1681.

Affirmative Action Plan

CCC has long held the belief that our mission can best be achieved by utilizing the human resources available to us to the fullest extent possible. We hire, recruit and take affirmative action so that discrimination does not occur on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, veteran’s status, disability or any other status protected under applicable laws.
