The International Brotherhood of Teamsters Consortium consists of 12 Teamster Training Centers and the Rail Workers Hazardous Materials Training Program, representing nine rail unions.

The target population of workers includes remediation, construction workers, truck/rail transportation workers, warehouse workers, and airline workers. We deliver high-quality safety and health training to workers in under-served populations, providing the necessary skills to safely work on remediation projects in their respective communities.
