Are you a recent graduate wanting to connect directly with local Oregon employers or training programs this spring? 

Portland Workforce is opening individual registration for select young adults ages 16-24 to attend the annual NW Youth Careers Expo during afternoon hours on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, at the Oregon Convention Center. 

If you're interested, register here, then join us between noon and 1:30 pm Expo Day. 

At the Expo, you can: 

• Talk to employers that are hiring 
• Get the inside scoop from apprenticeship training centers or college programs 
• Practice your interviewing skills at a mock interview
• Get a better sense of company culture than you can from online 

You are invited to attend if: 

• You were invited directly by Portland Workforce Alliance
• Your community college instructor told you about it
• You were invited by one of PWA's partner nonprofits

 

Though the Careers Expo is primarily a career-exploration opportunity for high school students (not a job fair), many participating employers are actively hiring and wanting to connect with job candidates. This is a great opportunity for YOU to get your foot in the door!

You can look here to see a small sampler of the jobs and other opportunities available at the Expo. 

Contact us at expo@portlandworkforcealliance.org  if you have questions.
