Synopsis

2 versions

Update #2 · Latest ·

This modification reflects a change to the "Category of Funding Activity" designation reflected under the synopsis tab from "Environment" TO "INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS ACT (IIJA). This minor modification was initiated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) on June 6, 2022, to make it easier for the public to "Find and Apply" for IIJA Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) posted on Grans.gov. THIS MODIFICATION DOES NOT CHANGE THE REQUEST FOR APPLICATION (RFA). All information in the RFA remains the same. -

This notice announces the availability of funds and solicits applications from eligible entities, including nonprofit organizations, to deliver Brownfields Job Training programs that recruit, train, and retain a local, skilled workforce by prioritizing unemployed and under-employed residents to obtain the skills and credentials needed for pathways into full-time employment in the environmental field. This program is being funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Public Law 117-58 (the "Bipartisan Infrastructure Law").


While Brownfields Job Training Grants require training in brownfield assessment and/or cleanup activities, these grants also require that Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) training be provided to all individuals being trained. EPA encourages applicants to develop their curricula based on local labor market assessments and employers' hiring needs, while also delivering comprehensive training that results in graduates securing multiple certifications.
