About This Cause
Portland Workforce Alliance is dedicated to building enduring partnerships between local businesses and Portland metro high schools. Providing concrete real life work experiences for students will enrich their academic experience, engaging all students to graduate and make more informed coherent career choices after high school or college. PWA paves the way for our youth to contribute to the economic vitality of our region. The goals of PWA are: 1. Skilled Workforce - Help provide the region with a skilled workforce. 2.Partner with Business & Industry to educate students about Career Opportunities - Develop experiences ( career days, internships, mentorship programs,etc.) for high school students that help to motivate them to succeed academically and continue their education after high school. 3.Increase the High School Graduation Rate - Many studies conclude that students are far more likely to stay in school and graduate if they see the relevance of their education and have a relationship with a caring adult.
