What Is The Superfund Job
Training Initiative?
The Superfund Job Training Initiative (SuperJTI) is an
environmental remediation job readiness program that
provides free training and employment opportunities for
citizens living in communities affected by Superfund
sites.
The Superfund program uses its experience working
with communities to create partnerships with local
businesses, universities, labor unions, community and
social service organizations, and other federal agencies
to address local workforce issues. EPA's goal is to help
communities develop job opportunities and partnerships
that remain long after a Superfund site is cleaned up.
EPA offers SuperJTI training through its Technical
Assistance Services for Communities (TASC) contract,
which provides independent educational and technical
assistance to communities affected by Superfund sites.
How Can SuperJTI Benefit My
Community?
Through the SuperJTI program, EPA and its partners can
make the most of resources and expertise to help citizens
living in communities affected by Superfund sites.
SuperJTI benefits communities by:
•	Increasing understanding of site conditions and
cleanup efforts.
•	Providing individuals with marketable skills that
enhance employment potential.
•	Enabling community members to play active roles in
the protection and restoration of their neighborhoods.
•	Providing assistance with job placement.
SuperJTI combines classroom instruction with hands-
on training exercises for each participant. SuperJTI
graduates have the technical skills to work on a broad
range of projects in environmental remediation and
construction as well as the cleanup of Superfund sites.
What Are SuperJTI's
Accomplishments?
Approximately 400 trainees nationwide have participated
in SuperJTI. Graduates of SuperJTI have been placed in
a variety of jobs.
•	Dump truck drivers
•	Environmental technicians
•	General production operators
•	Heavy equipment operators
•	Material handlers
•	Radiological control inspectors
Approximately 80 percent of trainees from previous
SuperJTI programs have been placed into jobs.
