The City of Rochester's Brownfields Environmental Skills Training (BEST) program is a new initiative designed to support dislocated workers and unemployed individuals seeking sustainable, long-term employment in the environmental remediation field.

The BEST program is a non-paid training program. The goal of the BEST program is to train 100 students over four years for job placement in the environmental project monitoring and construction inspection careers. This program is being funded through a Brownfields Job Training Grant (BJT) grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to the City of Rochester.
