Why professionals in Portland certify

Delivery experience travels well in Portland, but only when it is backed by a certification a recruiter already recognises. Employers in Technology and SaaS, Healthcare and Life Sciences and Financial Services continue to build teams in Portland, and most of those teams need certified leads rather than more generalists. Most learners here are moving toward Project Manager, Senior Project Manager and Program Manager.
