We are preparing to kick-off our Construction Workforce Training Collaborative, an innovative public-private collaborative with Tree Trust, Association of Minority Contractors, and Housing First Minnesota that will deliver entry-level construction training to underserved and minority youth. This new initiative is led by Instructor Chris Reiss, who will train participants in construction methods and supervise them as they use their experience in the field completing home repairs. Chris is a 38-year veteran of the commercial audiovisual industry. He has been involved for many years with rehab and restoration projects in many communities impacted by storms and flooding including New Orleans, Chicago, Houston, Guatemala and Biloxi.
