This NOFO lists three distinct program areas:

  • Environmental Career Worker Training Program (ECWTP)
    • There is evidence to support that communities disadvantaged by social economic status, with lack of access to resources such as quality schools and healthcare and living in or near contaminated or polluted areas, face greater risk of exposure to environmental hazards.
