“Rose City Certified has already exceeded our expectations. We didn't want another training program that people rushed through or forgot—we wanted something that actually changed how frontline workers saw themselves and their role in the visitor experience. This program is engaging, accessible, and genuinely transformative. It helps people speak about Portland with confidence, nuance, and pride, and early feedback shows learners are not only enjoying it, but actively recommending it to others. In my view, it's the strongest destination ambassador program I've seen.”
