Director of On the Job Training Supportive Services (Administrator VI)

Every year, FHWA requests State DOTs to submit a Statement of Work (SOW) demonstrating how the State DOT plans to provide a career path for minority, women, and/or other disadvantaged groups and individuals. State DOTs must also demonstrate involvement and collaboration among construction and professional trade associations, contractors, educational institutions (trade schools, public schools, community colleges, and universities), Departments of Labor, Departments of Education, and/or advocacy, non-profit, or veteran organizations. When developing a SOW, the State DOT must consider the following workforce and SOW fundamental outcomes:

• Careers leading to journey status (Not Short-Term Jobs);
• Partnerships and Meaningful Industry Engagement;
• Strategies to Increase Opportunities for Under-Represented Populations;
• Focus on Results and Outcomes;
• Value for the Funds Provided.
• Highway Construction Workforce Partnership (HCWP): The HCWP grew out of the OJTSS program and focuses on increasing the capacity and capability of the highway construction workforce. By partnering with key organizations to develop and deploy highway construction training and placement programs, this initiative will increase the number of individuals trained and hired in highway construction trades and crafts. Learn more about training resources associated with the HCWP.
• National Summer Transportation Institute (NSTI) Program: The purpose of the NSTI program is to promote the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) disciplines in transportation-education and career opportunities among middle and high school students, including at-risk youth.
