Thank you for inviting us to your career-focused events! Due to the volume of requests from job fairs and schools in Oregon and Washington, the Pacific Northwest Carpenters Institute and the NW Carpenters Union are teaming up to best serve our community and school partners.

Our team meets monthly to consider requests and identify staff who might be able to attend school-based and community events.
