CTGR TERO seeking
construction workers and
Indian-owned businesses
The Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO) is growing a list of
Tribal member construction workers who are interested in obtaining 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 experienced
in the building trades will create opportunities for employment and
economic benefit.
Also, construction workers are needed for heavy highway construc-
tion on projects throughout the region. CTGR and ODOT 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 immediate
opportunities for employment. In addition, those seeking to begin careers
in the construction trades may be eligible for training opportunities avail-
able, including on-the job training and apprenticeship assignments.
Applications and current training events are available at www.gran-
dronde.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
