PORTLAND CORPORATE LANGUAGE TRAINING
Improve your business English & learn how to conduct business in English fluently.
Portland, Oregon, might be best known as a haven for both hippies and hipsters. But the city that’s so quirky, it inspired a sketch comedy show, also has seriously impressive growth and economic development.
With a population of over 653,000, Portland is the largest city in Oregon. That population has grown almost 12% since 2010. Almost 14% of Portlanders (as residents of the city are known) are foreign born. The Portland metro area (which spans both Oregon and Washington) has almost 2.5 million people.
The best-known employer in the Portland area is Nike. One of the most popular brands in the world, Nike is based in Beaverton, just west of Portland.
Hillsboro, another city in the Portland metro area, is known for the presence of Intel. The technology company says it has its “largest concentration of facilities and talent in the world” in Oregon.Other major employers in and around Portland include Daimler Trucks North America, Precision Castparts, Columbia Sportswear and Boeing.
Many people in the Portland area work in jobs related to international trade. The state of Oregon trades with countries including China, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and Malaysia. Trade is also a key part of the region’s economic development strategy.
As Portland continues to celebrate its distinctive local character, it is also taking an ever-larger role on the global stage. And that means Portland companies will have a growing need for language training.
