NIEHS, EPA, Minority Worker and Brownfield Training

The goal of the program is to train, certify, and secure jobs for economically disadvantaged ethnic minorities living in the communities surrounding U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund National Priority’s List sites and Brownfield sites. The training programs include adult literacy; environmental worker training, education, and certification; and Building Trades-certified construction training. Pre-apprenticeship and skills training for economically disadvantaged workers provides opportunities for long-term and well-paid employment serving minorities, communities, and the construction industry.

Minority Worker Training Programs are currently underway in the following cities:

 

  • East Palo Alto
  • New Orleans
  • St. Paul
