The USF OTIEC will be delivering occupational safety and health training at the FNU Hialeah Campus, starting August 2015.
The USF OTIEC has established the host partnership with FNU because of its commitment to serving the South Florida community and its mission to contribute to the educational process to the diverse population.
“This is a great partnership. The collaboration between these two universities was established with our students in mind,” stated Jose Alonso, social media and marketing representative at FNU. “As a team, we support this mission and we are glad to see this proposal come to fruition.”
The key objective of the host partnership is for USF OTIEC to expand the distribution of courses that cover OSHA standards and Outreach Training Program, including topics such as record keeping, machine guarding, confined space entry, electrical standards, ergonomics, and fall arrest systems as well to reach workers who have limited knowledge of English.
The schedule and locations will be announced in the coming weeks. For additional information please contact usfotioutreach(at)health.usf.edu.
