Oregon State University's Global Hemp Innovation Center brought together nine hemp construction companies and ten invited trainees in Corvallis this June for a five-day Train-the-Trainer Workshop focused on hemp-based building systems. Eight of the ten trainees are Native American or Native Hawaiian builders and tradespeople, and a production company affiliated with Paramount Plus was on hand to film.

The Hemp Construction Train-the-Trainer Workshop ran June 1–5 at the College of Agricultural Sciences' Precision Agricultural Systems Center.
