In addition, TERO maintains a list of Tribal and Indian businesses (IOBs). IOBs are certified by TERO to become eligible to participate in contracting opportunities. TERO preference requirements apply to all construction projects on the reservation and a need for workers and contractors experi- enced in the building trades will create opportunities for employ- ment and economic benefit. Also, construction workers are needed for heavy highway construc- tion on projects throughout the region. The Grand Ronde Tribe and Oregon Department of Transportation negotiated an agreement that provides hiring preference to Indians who are dispatched to projects through TERO. Those with experience in the construction trades will have im- mediate opportunities for employment. In addition, those seeking to begin careers in the construction trades may be eligible for training opportunities available including on-the job training and apprenticeship assignments. Applications and current training events are available at www. grandronde.org/tero.
