The Vermont Agency of Transportation has recently launched
online applications for women and minority residents of Vermont
interested in obtaining training programs, employment
opportunities, and support services in highway construction.
Employment Diversity in Highway Construction (EDHC) provides
several programs to assist Vermont residents in workforce training
and job placement. The new online format allows applicants to
submit applications from their home computer or smartphone for On
the Job Training, Commercial Driver Training Funding, and Highway
Construction Training Subsidies.
“The new online applications for the EDHC programs provide
Vermont residents with increased access to these important
employment diversity services and allow the Agency of
Transportation to more quickly receive and process applications to
better connect applicants with potential employment services,” says
Beth Meyer-Ehrich, Civil Rights Program Manager with the Agency of
Transportation.
Currently, the Agency of Transportation receives approximately
100 paper-based applications for EDHC programs each year, a number
it hopes to see increase as online access makes the application
process quicker for Vermont residents. The forms were developed in
conjunction with Vermont Information Consortium, LLC, a digital
government services partner with the State of Vermont.
Each of the online applications for the EDHC programs can be
found on the website for the Agency of Transportation.
