In partnership with The City of Portland's Office of Economic Opportunity, Portland Professional Connections matches foreign-trained professionals with established business people and community leaders.
OUR MISSION
- Foster economic inclusion and equal opportunity to employment.
- Ensure that all Portlanders have an opportunity for upward economic mobility.
- Help newcomers build connections, gain valuable insight into the local job market, and build their professional network.
- Provide those who work in Portland the opportunity to broaden their networks and cultivate local talent within the new Mainer community.
This informal networking program is as simple as a chat over a cup of coffee, where Connectors offer three contacts from their network that Connectees can get in touch with.
