The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) and Grand Valley announced a new partnership that helps safety professionals advance their careers with easier access to a bachelor's degree.
Through this partnership, people who earned MIOSHA Training Institute's Level 2 Safety and Health Management Systems certificate can earn college credits toward a bachelor's degree in occupational safety and health management at GVSU.
“This partnership aligns with our goal of preparing students to excel in their careers while prioritizing safety and well-being in the workplace,” said Tim Born, interim dean of the Padnos College of Engineering.
Bart Pickelman, MIOSHA director, said: “We’re excited to work with GVSU to equip future professionals with critical safety knowledge. By integrating workplace safety into higher education, we’re building a proactive foundation that ensures the next generation of leaders is prepared to protect Michigan’s workforce.”
