This strategic collaboration will bring CareerSafe's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) training and professional development programs to the members of SkillHero's extensive network.
Online OSHA 10-Hour training saves contractors $240-300 per worker and also allows employees to start producing their first day on the job.
