Success Stories

SuperJTI can be tailored to each community depending on local needs and interests. EPA offers SuperJTI through its Technical Assistance Services for Communities (TASC) contract. This national contract provides training and independent technical assistance to communities affected by hazardous waste sites regulated under Superfund (the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act) or the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). At its most involved, where the community is committed to establishing its own training program, SuperJTI will facilitate the inclusion of the community in current or emerging job training and employment programs.

The following success stories illustrate how local communities have implemented SuperJTI to train and employ some of their residents. Be sure to check back periodically to read about more success stories as the program continues to expand.
