The Office of Information Services (OIS) is a shared service provider for the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS).

The JOBS program contracts with private vendors to provide services to Oregonians with the goal of helping them develop necessary skills and receive needed services to become financially and economically self-sufficient. The ODHS is committed to continuous improvement by measuring the performance of different program elements. Evaluating the success of the JOBS program is done through their Self-Sufficiency Programs (SSP) Employment and Training (E&T) area of ODHS.
