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.

纽约少数族裔工人培训计划（MWT计划）的目标是准备和 将有色人种的年轻人安置在与环境污染土地和建筑物的评估、复垦、补救和建设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进行，该联盟将技术，推广，教育和社区宣传技能相结合，并将少数民族领导的环境和社区组织与工会和学术培训计划联系起来。在过去九年中，这些组织成功地实施了MWT方案，招收了近265名学生，并在目标就业领域安排了244名工作。在过去的九年里，该计划的绩效稳步提高，在计划完成、就业安置和工作保留方面取得了更高的绩效。例如，2003-2004计划年的100% 毕业生被安排在工会的职位上，大多数在课程结束后两周内。我们毕业生的平均工资为每小时14.86美元。该提案要求为提供为期19周的学徒前培训计划提供资金 针对18至25岁的有色人种，以及来自经济困难社区的弱势家庭。木匠劳动技术学院（LTC）的纽约区理事会建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，并提出了一些方案改进。在为期19周的课程中，LTC将提供环境修复和工人健康与安全方面的课程，这些课程将导致认证和/或许可证，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，使学生不仅能够 工作，而是要在“工作世界”中成功竞争。“LTC将与基于社区的 提供外展和招聘、项目推广、持续支持服务以及就业安置援助的组织，特别是与当地经济发展相关的工作。该计划还将继续与木匠区理事会的学徒计划以及其他利润丰厚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布朗菲尔德财产和其他受污染的土地或建筑物的环境修复的公司的关系。 MWT计划将根据UMDNJ公共卫生学院的总合同运作，并由LTC管理。LTC建议继续与社区组织建立伙伴关系，并预计将维持在上一个赠款期间建立的伙伴关系。这些组织包括上曼哈顿哈莱姆的哈莱姆社区改进大会;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;东纽约/皇后区柏树山/里奇伍德的柏树山地方发展公司;以及南布朗克斯的南布朗克斯整体经济发展公司。
