Part of the mission of PBEM's CRT is to build a resilience ''ecosystem'' through planting and cultivating relevant skillsets in Portland communities. For this reason, CRT will approve, train, and manage NET instructors from the NET and COAD volunteer pools. This improves their expertise as volunteers, offers another avenue through which to strengthen their communities, and can enhance their personal professional development. In return, PBEM and the surrounding region has access to a broader pool of qualified instructors and facilitates PBEM producing more basic and advanced training events. | Part of the mission of PBEM's CRT is to build a resilience ''ecosystem'' through planting and cultivating relevant skillsets in Portland communities.
