Under the niehs grants we held zoom osha training courses through barton community college in ks to military transitioning, retired soldiers and family members. We also conducted osha 10 and dsw awareness training to native american college staff and local native american government officials through our native american liaison from sagninaw chippewa community college.

We also offered training face-to-face dot hazmat training for the dot hmit hazmat grant but followed each state and hosting college's covid-19 protocols that resulted in smaller numbers being able to register for the training. This was done in cooperation with community colleges of appalachia and national hazmat professional associations.
