“I believe the work that SkillsUSA is doing with
CareerSafe represents one of the most significant
partnerships in the history of our
organization. The CareerSafe program and the
OSHA credential that accompanies it fits perfectly
into Career and Technical Education programs
and the SkillsUSA program of work that stresses
safety as a key ingredient in technical
training. CareerSafe is good for all youth in
America and is on the leading edge of online,
interactive technology that inspires interest in the
subject matter and keeps students engaged in
learning the importance of occupational health
and safety in the current workplace and in their
future careers. CareerSafe is about training; it's
about careers; it's about life.”
