He built in the career-focused workshops as a way for attendees to take away information that would be helpful in job searches, promotions, career advancement or career changes. Topics can include networking, personal branding, interviewing, LinkedIn strategies, resume tips and more. pdxMindShare, held on the 3rd Wednesday each month in downtown Portland, attracts dozens of professionals who are constantly learning new ways to reach their career goals at our workshops with the opportunity to expand their Portland connections at the networking event that follows.

- Increasing career pathways for existing employees from diverse backgrounds
- New partnerships with community non-profits
