Job Training

Important Note:

KSU JT-TAB filled a gap in technical assistance providers, at the request of EPA, during the January to September 2024 time period. EPA has designated Tetra Tech, and their subcontractor Adaapta, as the assistance provider starting in October 2024. Resources below are being transitioned to the EPA Brownfields Job Training web site (see quick links on right side of this page).

For Brownfields Job Training Technical Assistance, please use the Technical Assistance Inquiry Form.
