[CPEO-BIF] EPA seeks comments on expanded Job Training Grants

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

Draft FY 2011 Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training Grant 
Application Guidelines

EPA provides funds to eligible entities, including non-profit 
organizations, to deliver environmental workforce development and job 
training programs focused on hazardous and solid waste management, 
assessment, and cleanup associated activities.  Environmental Workforce 
Development and Job Training (EWDJT) grants are provided to recruit, 
train, and place, unemployed and under-employed, predominantly 
low-income and minority, residents historically affected by hazardous 
and solid waste sites and facilities with the skills needed to secure 
full-time, sustainable employment in the environmental field and in the 
assessment and cleanup work taking place in their communities.  Formerly 
referred to as the "Brownfields Job Training Grants Program," the 
"Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training Grants Program," 
supports expanded environmental training outside the traditional scope 
of just brownfields but builds upon the existing model and the capacity 
created through the Brownfields Job Training Program since its inception 
in 1998.  This notice solicits comments on the drafted FY11 EWDJT grant 
application guidelines.  Comments are due no later than September 13, 
2010 to Joe Bruss at bruss.joseph@epa.gov.
