Purpose of the Awardee Meeting
The semi-annual WTP Awardee Meeting brought awardees together to provide program updates, exchange information regarding training, and discover new areas of interest to awardees.
Justice40/Environmental Justice Stakeholder Engagement Meeting
At the conclusion of the WTP Awardee Meeting on Tuesday, May 17, a public Justice40/Environmental Justice Stakeholder Engagement Meeting was held. The purpose of the meeting was two-fold:
- To share information about the Justice40 Initiative and also one of the pilot programs covered under the initiative – the NIEHS Environmental Career Worker Training Program (ECWTP).
- To solicit your feedback and suggestions on how to enhance the program's effectiveness.
Purpose and Scope of the Workshop
The purpose of the NIEHS Spring 2022 Worker Training Program workshop was to share strategies regarding mitigating occupational hazards related to climate change; share case studies and approaches grantees have used; and provide an overview on how to conduct occupational climate vulnerability assessments. Attendees left the workshop with an increased familiarity of the many ways climate change impacts workers and an understanding of the content and approaches to best train workers, employers, and communities to prepare for and mitigate the hazards associated with climate change.
