Corporate Landscape Tours

Our Corporate Landscape Tour is part of our effort to make sure that our students gain both theory and practice when it comes to business skills. On tour, students and their faculty visit with executives, get to ask questions about the business and the executives’ experiences and get to tour the business operation. This provides an essential networking opportunity for our students.

Multnomah, Washington, and Clark counties are growing quickly and offer a wealth of opportunities to connect with a wide variety of companies from small start-ups to well-established multi-national corporations. Some of our recent tour destinations included Chaucer, Golden Valley Brewery, Elk Cove Vineyards, Nike, and Columbia Sportswear, and our partners are growing every day.
