OAI, INC -
Minority Workers Training Program
Environmental Remediation Construction Training
Our programs offer training to workers whose jobs expose them to hazardous materials. We specialize in providing quality training to individuals who are emergency responders, environmental technicians, manufacturing workers, and construction workers. We also provide training to individuals interested in starting a career in these specialized fields. Our team of experienced instructors works extensively with diverse populations, such as residents of disadvantaged communities, minority youths, unemployed and low-skilled workers, and limited-English-proficient students.
Courses are continuously adapted based on the individual needs of students and employers. Because many of OAI's courses are grant subsidized, smaller companies, and workers who cannot afford the full cost of training, are able to receive training required by OSHA and other regulatory agencies. Eligibility requirements and funding information are available upon request. Funding sources include the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
EH&S prides itself in creating and delivering effective training models. Our programs are customized by integrating EH&S courses with courses offered by other OAI departments, resources and partners. EH&S also conducts stand-alone courses for individuals needing one certification or a refresher course to increase or update current skills. Extensive programs also are available for individuals interested in starting a career and, therefore, require additional training. Employers and students alike have found that EH&S services fit their training needs and create new avenues to success.
In addition to our technical courses, some of our students rely on OAI for additional services to obtain gainful employment, such as our job readiness and computer technology courses. Our accomplished career guidance staff is accessible to them during and after training for personal counseling and job development support.
