Sign up to participate in our LA Corps EPA Environmental Workforce Training.
Be one of 60 “Brownfields” Program trainees to participate in this year’s FREE environmental workforce job development training, funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and led by the LA Corps.

“During the Brownfields training we learned about the removal of hazardous materials and safety practices when doing the job to protect ourselves and others. The experience was great, especially when doing hands-on training, which was my favorite. I’m looking forward to a long-time career as a heat and frost installer.”
