Superfund Job Training Initiative (SuperJTI)
What is Environmental Justice?
EPA defines environmental justice as the fair treatment for people of all races, cultures, and incomes, regarding the development of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.
Through initiatives like the SuperJTI program, EPA maintains an ongoing commitment to ensure environmental justice for all people, regardless of race, color, national origin, or income.
Ensuring environmental justice means not only protecting human health and the environment for everyone, but also ensuring that all people are treated fairly and are given the opportunity to participate meaningfully in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.
Welcome to the Superfund Job Training Initiative (SuperJTI) Web site.
SuperJTI is a job readiness program that provides training and employment opportunities for underserved citizens living in communities affected by Superfund sites.
Many of these areas are environmental justice communities – historically under-represented minority and low-income neighborhoods and areas burdened with significant environmental challenges.
EPA’s goal is to help these communities develop job opportunities that remain long after a Superfund site is cleaned up.
The SuperJTI Web site provides information about the program’s services, ongoing and completed projects, and contact information for communities interested in SuperJTI training. The Web site also provides a list of resources and answers to frequently asked questions.
