Employer Partnership Awards

2020 Employer Partnership Awards banner

Each year, Portland Community College brings together industry leaders, advisors, and advocates to celebrate and strengthen the partnerships that help to power our economy. The Employer Partnership Awards honor PCC’s many industry collaborators, whose input, support, and guidance enable PCC to educate a skilled workforce. Working together allows PCC to align education with high growth industries, offer dynamic programming with hands-on opportunities, and prepare students to launch careers with advancement potential. PCC partners with a variety of organizations, in many and varied configurations, which enables the college to be a critical catalyst for the region’s economic success.

Each year the college honors three organizations, one each in the categories of Small Business, Large Business, and Government/Non-Profit, for their contributions to PCC and their efforts to grow a diverse and educated workforce in the region.
