A $3.1 million federal grant will fund a Washington State University Tri-Cities project aimed at increasing the number of multilingual educators in the Tri-Cities region and beyond.
Hundreds of students from across the Mid-Columbia donned hard hats, tried out heavy equipment and participated in other hands-on activities as part of the recent Tri-Cities Construction Career Day at the Benton County Fairgrounds in Kennewick.
With a focus on skill development, job coaching and community partnerships, the Kennewick-based nonprofit empowers clients to achieve success in the workplace.
