| Workforce Diversity Project: Re-Credentialing Partners in Diversity is wrapping up its Workforce Diversity Project - a three year grant-funded effort to connect communities of color and English Language Learners to living wage jobs. One of our goals is to address the challenge of re-credentialing immigrants and refugees who come to Oregon with advanced degrees and are unable to work in their fields. We need your help to identify individuals who meet this description. Specifically: name and contact information, type of degree, university at which degree was acquired, country in which degree was acquired, type of job(s) held before immigrating, type of job(s) held in the U.S. If you know of someone or have questions, please contact Marilyn Hartzog at mhartzog@portlandalliance.com or 503.552.6747.
