POIC Work Connections - Back in Person!
The POIC Work Connections event showed how we could all play a role in creating a better future for Portland. Partners, participants, and staff made connections and shared the success of past and present POIC trainees. Adrian, a graduate of the Construction Pre-Apprenticeship program, told us about their journey to becoming comfortable and skilled enough to follow their dreams of starting a green construction company. Industry leaders shared why they chose to support POIC.
