Students will go behind-the-scenes at the Under Armour Portland office and explore sports footwear concept design. They will hear from industry professionals what it's like to work at a leading sportswear brand and also learn about getting started, developing skills and turning their first job into a great career. Hands-on learning in the maker space! Enjoy this "Mini Career Day" at one of the leaders in Portland's thriving Athletic & Outdoor Industry.
