Landscape Technology

Posting employment and co-op education opportunities for LAT students at PCC

The Landscape Technology Program (LAT) at Portland Community College (PCC) works in partnership with the PCC Rock Creek Jobs & Internship Office to advertise legitimate professional employment and internship opportunities to LAT students via an email employment listserv. If you are seeking one of these situations, please read carefully the appropriate information below and follow the directions to complete your request.

Landscape employment opportunities

A legitimate professional landscape employer is defined as a landscape management professional, landscape contractor, nursery, arborist, landscape designer, or related vendor who carries all necessary licenses, bonds, and insurance (e.g. liability, worker’s compensation) to operate legally.

To post a legitimate professional employment position to the LAT email employment listserv please provide the following:

  1. Title of the position
  2. Name of the company, including the address and phone number
  3. Description of the position and rate of pay
  4. Qualifications for the position
  5. Contact information (name, phone number, and email)
  6. How to apply

PCC LAT does not advertise casual yard work or day labor positions for homeowners.

Landscape design employment opportunities

A homeowner seeking landscape design services from PCC LAT students may post the opportunity as a potential paid employment situation. To post a landscape design employment opportunity to the LAT email employment listserv please provide the following:

  1. Homeowner’s name and contact information
  2. Description of the design services wanted
  3. Budget and/or pay rate (may be negotiated by the client and the designer independent of PCC)

Landscape Cooperative Education employment opportunities

All LAT students pursuing the Landscape Technology AAS Degree or the Environmental Landscape Technology Degree are required to complete 6 credits of Cooperative Education (internship) as part of their degree. To learn more, please go to our internship website.

If you are interested in providing a Cooperative Education experience for a current student, please contact DeAnne Hardy. The criteria to qualify as a legitimate Landscape employer (see above) also applies to Cooperative Education.

Meet the criteria?

All job opportunities that meet the criteria can be emailed to DeAnne Hardy to be sent out to all LAT students, graduates, and faculty participating in the email employment listserv. To post Cooperative Education opportunities that meet the criteria, please contact DeAnne Hardy. Faculty and staff at PCC do not select, recommend, or otherwise “hand-pick” students for employment positions. Submissions that do not provide complete information may not be posted.
