Quality Environmental Jobs Initiative

Quality Environmental Jobs Initiative Providing environmental job training to the unemployed and under-employed for environmental job opportunities in the local area.

The community development non-profit Coalfield Development Corporation in conjunction with the Center for Environmental, Geotechnical, and Applied Sciences (CEGAS) at Marshall University: “The Quality Environmental Jobs Initiative”. Funded through an Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training grant from the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection (US EPA), the initiative will provide

technical training in environmental remediation over the next two years. Initially geared toward laid-off coal miners, veterans, and unemployed young adults, the training program is free of charge and open to the general public. Graduates of the Quality Environmental Jobs Initiative will gain a working knowledge of job related environmental issues and the opportunity to earn professional certifications in a variety of environmental fields such as: Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standard (HAZWOPER), asbestos abatement, lead abatement, mold remediation, and meth-lab clean up. Additional services will include: professional skills development, life-skills counseling, and job placement services.

A Message from Marshall University - CEGAS:

An email is going out to all who have participated in the free Quality Environmental Jobs Training Initiative through Coalfield Development Corp., and Marshall University. It is an opportunity for employment.

An environmental firm contacted us and asked for people with training who would be interested in working with the flood cleanup here in West Virginia. Jobs would begin right away upon employment and would start at $12-$14 an hour.

Important - If you are interested please send an email with your name and phone number to Marilyn Wrenn with Coalfield Development Corp - at [email protected]

All of the provided training is relevant, however, those who completed and became certified in HAZWOPER may be given priority.

Please don't miss this opportunity to put your current training into action!

P.S. if you receive multiple emails it is because you registered multiple times for different trainings. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Sincerely,

Carlee Spradlin
