Career Skills Development Program

Program overview

The goal of the Career Skills Development Program is to increase the economic success of the Native community in Portland. To do this, our program provides opportunities for participants to gain the skills and experience needed to be successful in the workforce. Job readiness and career skills are developed through one-on-one coaching sessions that address personalized goals set by the client during individual intakes. Our intake and assessment process helps to identify areas to focus attention in order to help clients reach their personal career goals and track progress reaching those goals. Such activities include: resume and cover letter assistance, mock interviews, teaching methods of networking, identifying online resources to access employers, best practices when contacting an employer directly, encouraging dressing for success, addressing potential retraining and employable skill development, and facilitate access to training opportunities.

Clients may make an appointment by calling, emailing or through a referral to the Career Skills Development Coaches.
