Get Involved
The Regional Business Plan is an action-oriented effort that lays out measurable initiatives aimed at creating a strong and sustainable regional economy. Implementing the initiatives of the Regional Business Plan will require the involvement of the many businesses throughout this region, as well as cooperation with the public and non-profit sectors. Only by working collectively will we see our vision for this region fulfilled.
Listed below are specific ways to get engaged with implementing the initiatives of the Regional Business Plan. Through your involvement, the Regional Business Plan will be a success.
Initiative: Provide 500 teacher, counselor and administrator internships across the region in the next two years with a particular focus on internships in traded sector industry companies.
MAKE LEARNING REAL. These are the words that shape the services provided by the Business Education Compact. For more than 20 years, this local nonprofit organization has connected the classroom and the workplace through programs including:
Student and Educator Internships - The BEC acts as employer of record taking care of all payroll related issues during the internship period while supporting both hiring managers and interns during the process. You provide the work to be done, the BEC provides the qualified intern to satisfy your workforce needs.
"It would have taken two consultants at significant cost to perform the work of one skilled teacher intern and without the downstream benefits to students. It is an enriching experience for businesses, schools, teachers, and students!" - Maureen Shaw, PGE
Participation is easy. The impact is AMAZING. Learn more about the BEC at www.becpdx.org or call Stephanie Lambert at
