Webinar and Discussion: Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) 10-hour certification/credential

Program Management Colleagues,

The upcoming December 5th webinar, and the following online discussion, may be of interest to mangers of adult basic skills programs. In particular, I understand that the OSHA panelist will be sharing information about how programs can be set up as training centers, and the qualifications required to become a trainer.  She will also share information that will be useful to programs that want to apply to the Susan Hardwood Training Grant Program: https://www.osha.gov/dte/sharwood/
