About us

This page is a virtual “who’s who” of the Northwest Laborers-Employers Training Trust (NWLETT) team. And just as on the job site, each person’s position is critical to the success of the team.

It’s kind of like the Seahawks, except we’re strong at every position (We’re looking at you, offensive line).

Our Mission Statement

To provide continuous workforce education and training which meets industry needs, builds careers and increases our employers’ competitive advantage.
