In cooperation with Building Trades Unions, community-based organizations and others, CPWR assists minority workers by enhancing their life skills and employment opportunities in hazardous waste work at designated 1910.120 sites around the country. |

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 Brownsfield 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.
