Portland Community College’s Career Pathways and SNAP Training and Education Program are hosting the Fall Trades Career Fair from 1-4 p.m., Friday, Oct. 24 at the Swan Island Trades Center, 6400 N Cutter Circle.
The event spotlights high-demand careers in construction, manufacturing, transportation, welding, machining, energy, and more. Many of these companies are offering paid training or education reimbursement, helping students reduce or avoid student loans. The event, which connects job seekers with more than 50 hiring employers across the region, is open to PCC trades students, community job seekers, partner agencies, and staff.
Attendees can meet recruiters from leading organizations such as Hoffman Construction, TriMet, Union Pacific Railroad, NIETC–IBEW Local 48, Jireh Semiconductor, Leupold & Stevens, Knife River, Greenberry Industries, FedEx and Vigor Marine, with more employers confirming daily. PCC hosts these employment fairs several times every year to serve the community and employers.
