We love seeing Portland high school students when they go behind-the-scenes to learn about great companies and jobs. Thank you to our many host employers for providing students with real-world education: ZGF Architects, Portland Fire & Rescue, Ziba Design, The Oregonian, FINE, Umpqua Bank and Oregon Health & Science University,  Parkrose school districtPort of Portland and PCC Swan Island Trades Center.

Here is a sampler of student feedback from these experiences:

“It’s given me an inside look into a career I’ve considered for a while as well as what working in an office might look like.” – McKenzie Titus, Wilson High School, at ZGF Architects Career Day

“I got hands-on experience and learned not only what they do but the lifestyle they live.” – Michelle Alvarado, Madison High, at Portland Fire & Rescue Career Day

“I didn’t know what to expect from this trip and it turned out to be an awesome unique experience that I feel lucky to have had.” – Kenadi Smith, Alliance High School, at Ziba Design Career Day

“I had no idea what journalism involved before today. But now I’m hooked and I could really see myself enjoying doing this.” – Elaine Earle, Grant High School, at The Oregonian Career Day

“It was very informative and I learned so much. The activities were well planned and I could tell that the administrators were excited that we came to learn about education.” – Elisa Suarez, Jefferson High School, at Future Educator Career Day

“Banking has a lot of different fields and (this) debunked a lot of things I thought about banking.” – Oliver Prince, Lincoln High School, at Umpqua Bank Career Day
