| The Newmark Center is more than simple co-location of service providers
at a single geographic site. The vision is for a seamless integration
of application, assessment, screening, intake, service delivery and evaluation using
a common database and shared human resources. Staff are cross-trained to assist every
client in developing a self improvement plan, using all the resources
of the center to move toward self sufficiency.
The 35,000 square foot center includes a 1,600 square foot technology
center, six classrooms and four conference rooms. The technology center
is furnished with personal computers for classroom instruction, and
has the ability to be divided into three separate spaces
to accommodate different groups. Newmark Center's resource room has Internet access
so clients can access the multitude of resources available there for job search,
résumé writing, technical support, etc. An Oregon Ed-Net receive site is also
located on the second floor for staff
and client teleconference training.
