What is SuperJTI?
Key Topics
The Superfund Job Training Initiative, or SuperJTI, supports job training programs in communities affected by nearby Superfund sites and encourages the employment of trainees at local site cleanups. The SuperJTI program combines extensive classroom instruction with hands-on work experience for each participant. Upon completion of the program, each participant possesses the marketable skills required to become a valuable member of the community's workforce.
SuperJTI is based on the premise that although the Superfund program
itself is not authorized to perform job training activities, it can
use its considerable community outreach mechanisms to create partnerships
with local businesses and community organizations and other federal
agencies to develop and support job training.
Through the SuperJTI program, EPA is helping communities to develop job training programs and partnerships that can extend well beyond the actual time required to clean up a site.
