Located in Eugene, Oregon, The HOPE Factory is a collaboration between Lane Education Service District, St. Vincent de Paul Society of Lane County, and Lane CTE. The factory produces high-quality, affordable, energy-efficient, and fire-resilient manufactured homes intended to support recovery in Oregon, where many homes were lost due to wildfires.
During this real-world hands on experience, students earn two credits at their high school, Lane Community College (LCC) dual credits, and a BOLI pre-apprenticeship certificate while being taught skills on-site and provided with industry certifications and work-based learning opportunities. Students will work alongside craft professionals in a handful of trades, including welding, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and manufacturing.
