The EPA is offering this grant to fund environmental workforce development and job training programs. This grant is for the purpose of recruiting, training, and placing local, unemployed, and under-employed residents into full-time employment within the environmental field. Programs should focus on developing skills in areas such as solid and hazardous waste remediation, environmental health and safety, and wastewater-related training. Eligible entities, including nonprofit organizations, are encouraged to apply.
