Minority Worker Training Program (MWTP)

纽约少数民族工人培训计划(MWT计划)的目标是准备和 将有色人种年轻人安置在与评估、开垦、补救和建造受环境污染的土地和建筑相关的不断扩大的就业领域。该计划将由一个独特的组织联盟合作实施，该联盟结合了技术、外展、教育和社区倡导技能，并将少数族裔领导的环境和社区组织与工会和学术培训计划联系起来。在过去的九年里，这些组织成功地实施了MWT计划，招收了近265名学生，并在目标就业领域进行了244次就业安置。在过去的九年里，这个项目的业绩稳步提高，在项目完成率、就业安置和工作保留率方面取得了更高的业绩。例如，2003-2004方案年度的100% 毕业生被安排在加入工会的岗位上，大多数是在项目完成后两周内。我们毕业生就业的平均工资是每小时14.86美元。该提案要求为实施为期19周的学徒前培训方案提供资金。 针对年龄在18岁至25岁之间的有色人种以及来自以经济困难为特征的社区中的贫困家庭的个人。纽约地区委员会木匠劳动技术学院(LTC)提议管理一个与过去两个资助周期提供的课程非常相似的课程，并提议对课程进行一些改进。在为期19周的课程中，LTC将提供环境补救和工人健康与安全方面的课程，这些课程将导致获得证书和/或执照，建筑行业的入门技能，以及与行业相关的数学、写作和生活技能/职业指导，这不仅为学生准备 工作，但要在“工作的世界”中成功竞争。LTC将与以社区为基础的 提供外展和招聘、计划推广、持续支持服务和协助就业安置的组织，特别是与当地经济发展相关的工作。该计划还将继续与区木匠委员会的学徒计划以及其他有利可图的有组织的建筑行业密切合作。最后，该计划将继续与主要从事棕地物业和其他受污染土地或建筑的环境修复的公司建立关系。 MWT计划将在UMDNJ-公共卫生学院的总合同下运作，并将由LTC管理。过渡委员会提议继续与以社区为基础的组织建立伙伴关系，并预期维持在前一个赠款期间发展起来的伙伴关系。这些组织包括曼哈顿上城哈莱姆社区改善大会(HCCI)；布鲁克林贝德福德-斯图文森的木兰树地球中心；布鲁克林公园坡的第五大道委员会/布鲁克林劳动力创新；皇后区东纽约/柏树/里奇伍德的柏树地方发展公司；以及南布朗克斯的南布朗克斯整体经济发展公司。

The goal of the Minority Worker Training Program of New York (MWT Program) is to prepare and place young people of color in the expanding areas of employment associated with the assessment, reclamation, remediation, and construction of environmentally contaminated lands and buildings. This program will be cooperatively conducted by a unique consortium of organizations that combines technical, outreach, educational, and community advocacy skills and links minority-led environmental and community-based organizations with union and academic training programs. Over the past nine years, these organizations have successfully conducted the MWT Program by enrolling nearly 265 students and have made 244 job placements in the targeted areas of employment. Over the past nine years, the performance is this program has steadily improved, achieving increased performance in program completion, job placement, and job retention. As an example, 100% of the 2003-2004 program year graduates were placed in unionized positions, most within two weeks of program completion. The average wage for the placements of our graduates was $14.86/hour. This proposal requests funding for the delivery of a 19-week pre-apprenticeship training program targeted toward individuals of color between the ages of 18 and 25 and who come from disadvantaged households in communities characterized as economically in distress. The New York District Council of Carpenters' Labor Technical College (LTC) proposes to administer a curriculum very similar to that which has been offered over the past two funding cycles, with some proposed program enhancements. Over the course of the 19 weeks, LTC will offer courses in environmental remediation and worker health and safety that lead to certifications and/or licenses, introductory skills in the building trades, as well as industry-related mathematics, writing, and life skills/career guidance, which prepares students not just to work, but to successfully compete in the "world of work." LTC will work with community-based organizations that provide outreach and recruitment, program promotion, ongoing support services, and assistance with job placement, particularly jobs linked with local economic development. The program will also continue its close collaboration with the apprenticeship program of the District Council of Carpenters as well as other lucrative organized building trades. Finally, the program will continue its relationships with firms primarily engaged in environmental remediation of brownfield properties and other contaminated lands or buildings. MWT Program will operate under general contract from the UMDNJ-School of Public Health and will be administered by the LTC. The LTC proposes to continue its partnerships with community-based organizations and anticipates maintaining the partnerships developed during the previous grant period. Those organizations include Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement (HCCI) of Harlem in upper Manhattan; Magnolia Tree Earth Center of Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn; The Fifth Avenue Committee/Brooklyn Workforce Innovations of Park Slope, Brooklyn; Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation of East New York/Cypress Hills/Ridgewood, Queens; and South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation of the south Bronx.
