Wilsonville, Lake Oswego tech jobs wow education leaders, prompt talk of more engineering lessons in schools
The tour of local employers was intended to help area school superintendents, curriculum directors and community college deans see and hear first-hand what those great jobs look like and what the managers who hire for them look for in potential employees.
