We collaborate with those on the
frontlines—local organizations and
employers—to identify issues, needs,
trainee candidates, and potential
solutions.
Our Work
Our approach
Training and education
Whether the goal is a first job, a fresh start, a better job, or the specialized knowledge to do a job safely, OAI’s education and training programs are designed to meet real-world needs.


Employment services
Businesses need skilled, committed employees. People with skills and commitment need employment. We work both sides of the hiring market to connect the two.
Community development
What does it take to breathe new life into once vibrant communities? A skilled workforce, yes, but also big-picture thinking, new partnerships, and new ideas. We’re developing all three.


High Bridge
How do you keep billions of gallons of fresh, clean water from turning into sewage that you have to spend money to treat?
