This notice announces the availability of funds and solicits proposals from eligible entities, including non-profit organizations, to deliver environmental workforce development and job training programs that recruit, train, and place local, unemployed and under-employed residents with the skills needed to secure full-time employment in the environmental field, with a focus on solid and hazardous waste remediation, environmental health and safety, and wastewater-related training.While Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training Grants require that certain types of training be provided, as outlined in Section III.C., Threshold Eligibility Criteria, applicants may design their own curricula and choose what types of supplemental environmental training they want to deliver as referenced in Section I.B., Use of Grant Funds.
