  • Abstract:
    Through its Strategic Workforce Development (SWD) Program, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) works with State Transportation Agencies (STAs) to bring together partners to identify, train, place, and retain women, minorities, and disadvantaged individuals into journey-level positions in the highway construction industry. The On-the-Job Training (OJT) Program increases parity in the industry's skilled workforce, while the OJT Supportive Services Program ensures that STAs have the resources needed to assist with trainee recruitment, childcare, transportation, personal equipment purchasing, résumé-building, employment tracking and trending, and much more. Together, these programs work to develop a skilled highway construction workforce, filling critical vacancies and laying the foundation for a strong, diverse highway construction industry for years to come. The following are a few examples of how SWD efforts in Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) have provided life-changing opportunities for women who continue to advance in the highway construction workforce.
