Still thinking about Dallas. 🏗️

Last week, OIC of America had the honor of serving as Diamond Discovery Sponsor of the Build the Workforce Summit at DEC RedBird. The event featured an amazing lineup of industry, education, and community leaders convened by PRAXIS Strategic Consulting and Turner Construction to open career pathways into America's construction workforce.

Our President & CEO, Louis King II, joined two featured panels: Construction Workforce & Economic Mobility (moderated by Asheya Warren) and Pathways to Work Now (moderated by Carmen Gaines) that explored how the industry can connect more people in our communities to careers that build long-term economic mobility. North Texas is growing fast, the construction workforce gap is widening, and the talent to close it already lives in our communities. We're dedicated to connecting them.

Thank you, Dallas. The work continues.

This is what tomorrow's workforce looks like.

Tuesday, hundreds of Portland students showed up for our first-ever STEMFest in the area. They were immersed in hands-on activities: picking up tools, asking questions, and meeting the scientists, engineers, and builders shaping the industries they'll one day lead.

Because you can't be what you can't see.

Through STEMLinx, we're building a national K-to-Career pipeline that turns curiosity into careers and connects young people to the skills, mentors, and opportunities that are life-changing.

A huge thank you to our incredible affiliate POIC for co-hosting an unforgettable day, Self Enhancement, Inc. and every exhibitor, employer partner, educator, family, and volunteer that helped to make yesterday a success. Find out when STEMFest is headed to your city at https://www.stemlinx.net/
