 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): OAI, a Chicago community-based agency, proposes to implement HWWT and ECWT Consortia. HWWT will target three populations: 1) underfunded rural and volunteer Emergency First Responders 2) Transitional and Temporary Workers and high school dropouts, and 3) Non Union Workers, including Hispanic hazardous waste handlers. Over 5 years, HWWT will train 23,470 students in 19 states and generate 253,660 contact hours. ECWT will assist unemployed African Americans, Hispanics, women, ex-offenders, and veterans who face multiple barriers to employment in Chicago, Dallas and Kansas City by training a total of 420 participants, placing 355 (85%) in jobs and generating 169,440-211,800 instructional contact hours. Significance: Both Consortia target the underserved and address public health disparities, prevention, and protection of workers, EJ residents and their communities from exposure to hazardous substances. ECWT responds to the underrepresentation of disadvantaged residents in the construction/environmental workforce. Leadership and Capacity: OAI has been a WTP grantee since 1995, led by the same Principal Investigator who has 32 years of experience in adult education, workforce development, and grants management. She will be supported by a team of health and safety professionals (IH, CIH) and others with requisite credentials and proven expertise. Innovation: Best practices and innovations of both Consortia include: the implementation of Social Ecological Model (SEM) and Economic Impact Study evaluation plan, integration of Climate Change and Community Resiliency into existing curricula, and Blended Learning. ECWT will continue to refine a unique Try-Outs selection process and demonstrate the Alumni Mentors retention strategy. HWWT will pilot a bilingual Train-the-Trainer model for Vietnamese nail salon workers integrating hazard awareness, SEM, 3Rs (reduction, reuse, and recycling), cultural competence, and community resiliency. Approach: HWWT will deliver direct training instruction via local peer trainers. As a strategy to build local capacity and sustainability, it will customize its Train-the-Trainer model o meet the needs of target populations. ECWT will provide Core Health & Safety Courses; Career Specific Training (Environmental/ Construction, Commercial Truck Driving/Hazmat Endorsement & Warehousing training, Water & Wastewater Operations, and Advanced Construction); Core Soft Skills Training; Supportive Services; and Career Guidance. Environment: For nearly 20 years of operation, OAI has created an environment conducive to collaboration among consortia members. The program has invested in classroom and hands-on training facilities and an array of resources, which can be accessed by consortia trainers and personnel during the five-year grant period.

 描述（由申请人提供）：OAI 是一家芝加哥社区机构，建议实施 HWWT 和 ECWT 联盟。 HWWT 将针对三个人群：1) 资金不足的农村和志愿紧急急救人员；2) 过渡和临时工人以及高中辍学者；3) 非工会工人，包括西班牙裔危险废物处理者。在 5 年内，HWWT 将在 19 个州培训 23,470 名学生，并产生 253,660 个接触时间。 ECWT 将培训总共 420 名参与者，帮助 355 名参与者（85%）找到工作，并产生 169,440-211,800 个教学接触时间，从而帮助芝加哥、达拉斯和堪萨斯城面临多重就业障碍的失业非裔美国人、西班牙裔人、妇女、刑满释放人员和退伍军人。意义：两个联盟都以服务不足的人群为目标，解决公共卫生差异问题，预防和保护工人、EJ 居民及其社区免于接触有害物质。 ECWT 针对建筑/环境劳动力中弱势居民代表性不足的问题。领导力和能力：OAI 自 1995 年以来一直是 WTP 受资助者，由同一位在成人教育、劳动力发展和资助管理方面拥有 32 年经验的首席研究员领导。她将得到健康和安全专业人士（IH、CIH）团队以及其他拥有必要资质和成熟专业知识的团队的支持。创新：两个联盟的最佳实践和创新包括：社会生态模型（SEM）和经济影响研究评估计划的实施、将气候变化和社区复原力纳入现有课程以及混合式学习。 ECWT 将继续完善独特的试用选择流程，并展示校友导师保留策略。 HWWT 将为越南美甲沙龙工人试行双语培训师培训模式，整合危险意识、SEM、3R（减少、再利用和回收）、文化能力和社区弹性。方法：HWWT 将通过当地同行培训师提供直接培训指导。作为建设当地能力和可持续性的战略，它将定制培训师培训模式以满足目标人群的需求。 ECWT 将提供核心健康与安全课程；职业特定培训（环境/建筑、商用卡车驾驶/危险品认可和仓储培训、供水和废水处理操作以及高级建筑）；核心软技能培训；支持服务；和职业指导。环境：在近20年的运营中，OAI创造了一个有利于联盟成员之间合作的环境。该计划投资了课堂和实践培训设施以及一系列资源，联盟培训师和人员可以在五年资助期内使用这些资源。
