Hadley Barndollar at The New Hampshire Bulletin reports on the effort in New Hampshire to recruit more Women and Minorities in the Highway Construction Trade, most notably the State’s Department of Transportation’s On-the-Job Training Program - which was designed by the Federal Highway Administration to promote the advancement of Women, Minorities and disadvantaged people in the Highway Construction Trades.  By cultivating a workforce representative of populations historically under-represented in the industry, the program supports Federal contract provisions that require equal opportunity on job sites.  The goal is also in line with President Joe Biden’s Justice40 Initiative - an effort to see at least 40% of benefits from certain Federal grants, programs and initiatives flow to disadvantaged communities.
