Today: Workplace Safety Education and Adult Learners - Webinar

Join the LINCS the Career Pathways and Health Literacy groups today at 3PM (EST) for a one-hour webinar on integrating worker safety training in career pathways programs. The webinar will introduce the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) 10-hour Outreach Training Program for general industry, construction, or maritime safety. This is a voluntary program, but some cities, states and employers require employees participate in the training, and educators and managers in career pathways (CP) programs can learn more about OSHA and how to effectively integrate workplace safety education curricula into CP programs.

Following the webinar, the special activity will continue with an online discussion on how to integrate OSHA materials into adult education classrooms and explore Workplace Safety, a freely available teaching resource for students at the Adult Secondary Education (ASE level).

This event will include four guest facilitators: Annette Braam, Directorate of Training and Education for OSHA, and Emily Doherty, Senior Director for Careers in Manufacturing Programs at the Jane Addams Resource Corporation.  Cynthia Peters, editor of World Education, Inc’s The Change Agent, will also participate and provide their insights during the event.

No pre-registration for this webinar is required.

Thanks,

The LINCS Team
