Purdue will host Bridges Out of Poverty

Purdue Extension will present the program Bridges Out of Poverty later this month.

Bridges Out of Poverty is a powerful model for economic and social change and stability. It helps business, education, social, health and legal professionals redesign programs to better serve clientele, build skill for management to help guide employees and increase the likelihood of moving from welfare to work.

It will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 24 and May 25 at Portland Fire Department, 1616 N. Franklin St.

The cost is $40 for day one and $25 for day two if registered by May 10.
