We are excited to share that 2022 is going to be our best year yet! We will have more cohorts in more locations than ever before. It is because of our donors, funders, and sponsors who see the value of our mission, which is to improve people’s lives by providing quality training, employment navigation, and supportive services leading to successful family-wage careers, that we are able to provide our programs and services to people interested in a career in the construction industry.
We are partnering with organizations south of King County, like the Thurston Chamber of Commerce, to provide Construction Boot Camps in more rural locations within Washington State, with four already scheduled.
We are expanding our RISE Up Affiliate network across the US and partnering with international organizations to roll out respectful workplace trainings across the country.
We will be collaborating with Glover Empower Mentoring to hold a youth cohort in Pierce County, as well as expanding the number of co-ed pre-apprenticeship cohorts in Pierce County.
We hired an Outreach Specialist for our newly rebranded Apprenticeship Resource Center and will be rolling out a website with resources for apprentices facing barriers as an effort to increase the retention of apprentices in the industry.
We are expanding our week-long summer construction camp program for high schools which exposes high school youth to the construction industry.
We have an incredible team and are looking to expand, so if you know anyone interested in working at ANEW, send them to our website to look at our openings.
Happy New Year!
Karen Dove,
Executive Director
