Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

Homepage

The Office of College Relations includes Government and Community Relations and is responsible for external partnerships that align with PCC’s strategic priorities. They do this by cultivating and stewarding relationships with local, regional, and national partners to share knowledge and create mutually beneficial and equitable opportunities.

The Community Relations team serves as the steward and connection point between the College and the broader community. They engage with external organizations to understand and respond to needs, cultivate reciprocal partnerships, and connect strategic opportunities that benefit our students and the community.

The Government Relations team directs government advocacy for the College and stewards relationships with public officials and agencies at all levels of government. This includes connecting government officials to PCC and creating opportunities for the PCC community to advocate for equitable funding, affordable tuition, and other key issues.

Workforce Relations acts as the primary bridge between Portland Community College and the regional business ecosystem to drive economic mobility. By collaborating with industry leaders, labor organizations, and economic development agencies, they ensure that PCC’s academic programs remain responsive to the evolving demands of the labor market. This work focuses on developing robust career pathways, expanding work-based learning opportunities like internships and apprenticeships, and securing the private-sector support to equip students with the high-demand skills required for the modern workforce.
