A Shared Vision Team Oregon Build (TOB) is an innovative partnership between education, industry, state, and community to introduce youth to career pathways within high-wage and high-demand construction trades. Education and Community partners from three Oregon regions dramatically impacted by wildfire and homelessness launched this career-connected learning and disaster/crisis response initiative. TOB trains Career and Technical (CTE) instructors across Oregon to construct transitional shelters, sheds, and supplementary structures like garden beds, chairs, and picnic tables. Once trained, CTE instructors lead their students through the construction process, providing them with hands-on education, training, and work-based learning opportunities that help them develop valuable employment skills, credentials, credits, and certifications. Students also engage in career awareness and exploration to understand career paths in construction trades and emerging careers in disaster/crisis readiness, response, recovery, and resilience. Lane ESD and Southern Oregon ESD were awarded more than $2.6 million in grant funding from the Oregon Department of Education through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER III) fund. With this new funding, Lane and Southern ESDs have partnered with the Mid-Willamette Educational Consortium to create and pilot Team Oregon Build, expanding upon the existing career and technical education programs already operating in these regions.
