WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
For the purpose of diversifying the workforce in highway construction, the term "minority" refers to women and men of any ethnicity group that have historically faced discrimination or systemic socio-economic disadvantage, so much that there is a noticeable lack of diversity in the industry. The Program is funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and is a direct result of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, for the purpose of creating equal opportunity and advancing non-discrimination.

WHAT IS ON the JOB TRAINING?
On the Job Training (OJT) Program offers equal opportunity for the training and job advancement of women, minorities and other disadvantaged individuals over the age of 18 in the highway construction trades. This Program exists to ensure that a competent workforce is available to meet highway construction hiring needs and to address the historical under-representation of members of these groups in highway construction skilled crafts.
We want to diversify the workforce, provide you with meaningful training, and help you either advance in your current career or find a new career path. A typical On-The-Job Training placement is about 500 hours, and the goal is for you to become a permanent, valued member of the contractor’s workforce.
IF SO, WE MAY HAVE JUST THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU!
The NH Department of Transportation (NHDOT) works with contractors across the state to make training positions available on highway construction projects. As an On The Job Trainee, you will be hired directly by a contractor for a training position that typically lasts 500 hours. After training is completed, trainees earn a certificate of completion and are often hired back to work. NHDOT provides trainees with ongoing support while you are in the Program.
