Portland Means Progress: Accountability in Racial Equity - Measuring Meaningful Work Experience
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
As businesses host work experiences for young professionals of color, how do we measure if a work experience was meaningful? With Amani Austin, Assistant Director of the Emerging Leaders Internship program, we will explore how to get beyond the number of internships as our measurement of success to better understand the experience of interns at our companies. Through this session, participants can expect to gain an understanding of:
- How to apply a strengths-based approach to measuring meaningful work experience
- Guidance on types of questions to ask in survey work with interns
- How to act on information you receive
- Hear case testimonials and scenarios of work experience situations
- See dashboards of example businesses measuring & reporting on work experience actions
- Become familiar with annual reporting for Portland Means Progress businesses
