Portland
Corporate Language Training
Portland, Oregon, is known for its creative culture, independent spirit and distinctive local character. But beyond its reputation for being quirky, Portland is also a major business center with strong economic growth and global connections.
As the largest city in Oregon, Portland has a population of more than 635,000 people. The broader Portland metro area, which extends into both Oregon and Washington, is home to nearly 2.5 million people. With a growing population and a foreign-born community representing nearly 14% of residents, Portland companies are increasingly working across languages, cultures and borders.
Portland is home to some of the region’s most recognized employers and global brands. Nike, one of the world’s most well-known companies, is headquartered in Beaverton, just west of Portland.
The metro area is also a major technology and manufacturing hub. Hillsboro is home to Intel’s largest concentration of facilities and talent in the world. Other major employers in and around Portland include Daimler Trucks North America, Precision Castparts, Columbia Sportswear and Boeing.
Many Portland-area employees work in industries connected to international trade. Oregon does business with countries such as China, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and Malaysia. Trade also plays an important role in the region’s long-term economic development strategy.
As Portland continues to grow as a global business center, companies will need employees who can communicate clearly and confidently across languages. That makes corporate language training an important investment for Portland employers with international teams, expats and multilingual workforces.
Fluency Corp provides onsite corporate English language training for employers throughout the Portland area. Your employees do not have to travel offsite for English classes. We bring language training directly to your workplace or provide live online instruction for added flexibility.
Whether your team is located in downtown Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro or elsewhere in the metro area, Fluency Corp makes English language training easier to fit into the workday.
