University Honors LOHP-Community Partnership

UC Berkeley has honored LOHP for its health and safety training partnership with an Oakland community organization.

In September, 2002, Berkeley Chancellor Robert Berdahl and his wife hosted an event at University House to celebrate the achievements of 14 University-community partnerships, including LOHP's work with the Cypress Mandela/ Women in Skilled Trades (WIST) Pre-Apprenticeship Program. The program provides Oakland residents with training and employment opportunities in construction and repair work resulting from the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.

Over the past four years, LOHP has provided WIST with training in areas such as chemical hazards, construction site safety, ergonomics, environmental justice, and hazardous waste.

UC Berkeley collaborates with community groups on programs and activities that promote a variety of worthy goals, from job training and youth employment to recreation, civic engagement, and economic development.
