Award Description: Oregon Tradeswomen, Inc, which works in conjunction with the Portland metro area’s union registered construction apprenticeship programs, as well as with several major contractor associations, has been providing successful pre-apprenticeship training and placement services since 2004. We will start in training at least 198 low-income Portland area residents, graduating at least 152 and place at least 116 of them into unsubsidized construction employment at family-sustaining wages. Services will include training to industry-recognized standards, case management, intensive job placement assistance and post-placement follow-up, mentoring and support post graduation.
