OUR PURPOSE

We solve the problem of “you need a job to get a job” in the tech industry. The Portland Tech Intern Experience (PTIX) lowers the steep barriers of the tech industry by connecting interns with each other and to the seven Portland companies that participate in PTIX, creating job and internship opportunities.

TESTIMONIALS

Through PTIX activities and their internships, interns gain both technical and soft skills as well as insights into the job market. Through the connections they build, several interns are able to transition into a full time role with a company in the PTIX community.

PTIX empowers interns to broaden their personal and professional networks through organized activities within the Portland community.

Lunch and Learns

PTIX interns attend exciting, informative lunch time talks, allowing them to network with other interns and companies in Portland.

Community Involvement

PTIX interns give back to the greater Portland community while expanding their networks and developing soft skills like empathy.

Networking

Through enjoyable social activities, PTIX interns build their personal and professional connections.
