Tekton Career Training

Your donation helps refugees and immigrants gain real skills, secure stable jobs, and rebuild their lives with dignity.

Tekton Career Training (501-c3) is a unique collaboration between local craft educators, industry leaders, local churches, and volunteer organizations who have a strong desire to give a hand up to our local international community as we respond to the shortage of skilled craftspeople in our region. Our long-term goal is to serve people in need who are confronted with insurmountable barriers to vocational training and career opportunities.

Tekton provides a pair of educational initiatives: Refcode, a web development training program tailored to empower refugees and immigrants within the community, and the Empower Clarkston program, which specializes in green efficiency training.

Every dollar you give goes directly into training, support, and opportunity. At Tekton, we don’t just teach — we transform lives.
