Summary: | Other known routes into our profession include earning an academic degree in an affiliated discipline; earning an academic degree in an unaffiliated discipline but finding an opportunity to apply key skill sets to OSH-related tasks; transitioning from military service; completing a 2-year safety-related degree program; or being a team member recruited by an organization to perform OSH-related activities based on skill set, interest or similar factors. To do this strategically, we must take broader approaches to education that promote lifelong learning and encompass stages of learning across academia, career development or career change, certificate programs, and professional certification. The important work of these committees, particularly as it relates to topics such as ABET accreditation, education standards and dissemination of safety research, will continue in more effective and efficient ways that better align with our strategic goals and business processes. |
