In 2014, the Pine Bend refinery became the first-ever PRO-10 certified worksite. PRO-10 is a professional development course tailored for the construction and building trades. Offering communications, customer relations, diversity, and safety classes, among others, the goal of the program is to build a professional environment at construction worksites – helping attract the best and the brightest to a career in the construction industry.
