CTGR TERO seeking construction
workers, Indian-owned Businesses
The Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO) is growing a list of
Tribal member construction workers who are interested in obtain-
ing job assignments on construction projects. 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. TERO is located at 9615 Grand Ronde Road,
Grand Ronde, OR 97347 (located on the second floor in the Adult
Education Building). For more information, call 503-879-2188. n

Grand Ronde Low-Income
Home Energy Assistance Program
The Grand Ronde Tribe is
operating its own Low-Income
Home Energy Assistance
Program (LIHEAP) to assist
Grand Ronde Tribal member
households with energy
payments (utility bills,
firewood, etc.), energy
emergencies and weatherization
(e.g. furnace repairs). Income
eligible households within Polk, Yamhill,
Marion, Washington, Multnomah and Clackamas counties with a
Grand Ronde Tribal member are eligible to apply. CTGR members in
these counties need to contact Grand Ronde to receive assistance
instead of from the community action agency in their area. Grand
Ronde’s program enables more CTGR members to be served than
would otherwise have been possible.
If you are interested in obtaining services contact Social Services at
1-800-242-8196 for energy assistance and the Grand Ronde Tribal
Housing Authority at 503-879-2405 for weatherization. The Tribe’s
LIHEAP program also serves all income eligible Indians on Grand
Ronde Reservation or trust land.
