National Air Pollution Training Program

Joint Training Committee
A series of discussions between the MJOs and EPA in 2018 resulted in a proposal to organize the JTC into four working groups to focus on the current high priority issues in the Program. The priorities were defined by the MJOs based on discussions with their SLT members and their own perspectives on the state of the Program. A new organizational structure for the JTC and workgroups was proposed by the MJOs as a straw proposal (image to the right).
The structure is envisioned as an hourglass with the JTC at-large membership and workgroups each as the wide collection points, and a steering committee as the central funnel point in the hourglass. Information will flow into Program from the SLTs, MJOs, and federal partners through the JTC at-large. The information entering the program through the JTC will be processed and redistributed by the Steering Committee to the workgroups. Co-leads from the MJOs and SLTs, will manage and facilitate activities in the workgroups with participation from EPA advisors. Work products will flow back from the workgroups to the Steering Committee in the form of regular communications on workgroup progress, and deliverables. The Steering Committee will push these deliverables back to the JTC for communication and distribution out of the JTC to the National Program stakeholders, including SLTs and training contractors.
Steering Committee
The JTC Steering Committee is a subset of the JTC and includes the co-leads of each of the work groups. The objective of the Steering Committee is to provide governance to the JTC, set priorities for the Program, and review Program communications and deliverables.
