EPA’s Brownfields Job Training Program helps nonprofits, local governments, and other eligible organizations build local workforces to perform assessment, cleanup, or preparation of contaminated sites (including brownfields) for reuse. Training programs funded by Brownfields Job Training Grants enable program graduates to obtain skills to secure full-time, sustainable employment in various aspects of hazardous substances, pollutants, contaminants, and petroleum products within the larger environmental field, including sustainable cleanup and reuse, and chemical safety. Training programs prioritize unemployed and under-employed residents of communities impacted by a variety of waste facilities, blighted properties, and contaminated sites. Throughout this RFP document you will find references to the requirements of the laws tied to this funding and how to submit a proposal to be a training provider for this project.
