Many students in Career and Technical Education programs graduate with valuable skills but without the safety credentials employers expect from day one. For students entering the skilled trades, safety training has traditionally been something that happens on the job, after hiring. Starting with the 2026-2027 school year, that changes.
We are proud to announce our partnership with ClickSafety, a leading provider of OSHA-Authorized safety training, to bring OSHA 10 courses directly into high schools and postsecondary programs through the BrightShift platform. Through this partnership, both OSHA 10 General Industry and OSHA 10 Construction trainings will be available in English and Spanish on the BrightShift platform. Together, we are helping educators give students something meaningful to show employers before they ever step onto a jobsite.
Why This Partnership Matters for CTE Programs
Employers in the skilled trades and construction industries increasingly expect new hires to arrive with foundational safety knowledge. For many students, that training has only been available after they enter the workforce. This partnership changes that.
Through BrightShift, your program can now offer OSHA 10 training as part of your students’ credential pathway. ClickSafety’s training is built around real-world scenarios and practical instruction that fits naturally into how CTE educators already teach. It is designed to meet students where they are, making safety concepts clear and relevant to the careers they are preparing for.
For administrators and CTE directors, this is also a strong fit for Perkins V funding. Because OSHA 10 General Industry and OSHA 10 Construction training directly supports workforce readiness outcomes, it aligns with the career and technical education goals Perkins V is designed to fund. Programs looking to expand credential offerings without increasing budget pressure will find this to be a practical and defensible use of those resources.
What Students Gain from OSHA 10 General Industry Training
When students complete OSHA 10 training through BrightShift, they earn an industry-recognized credential that signals their commitment to workplace safety before they take their first job. That matters to employers. Students who enter the workforce with this training:
- Demonstrate safety awareness that employers in skilled trades value from day one
- Stand out in competitive hiring environments with a credential that is recognized across industries
- Build a foundation of safety knowledge that supports long-term career growth in the trades, construction, automotive, and manufacturing fields
- Enter the workforce with greater confidence, knowing they understand the safety standards that govern their industry
We built BrightShift to help educators connect students to credentials that matter in the real world. Adding OSHA 10 training to our platform is a direct extension of that commitment.
Delivered Through a Trusted Platform Built for Schools
One of the challenges educators face when introducing new credential programs is logistics. Our platform is designed specifically for school environments, so adding OSHA 10 General Industry or OSHA 10 Construction training does not create additional administrative burden. You can manage student access, track progress, and monitor completion all within the same secure, browser-based environment you already use for certification testing.
ClickSafety’s modern training content pairs with BrightShift’s school-friendly platform to make sure safety knowledge is not only taught but also documented and accessible for district reporting. That combination supports the outcomes CTE programs need to demonstrate to administrators, school boards, and state agencies.
Preparing Students for High-Demand Careers
Demand for skilled trade professionals continues to grow, and employers across construction, manufacturing, and the automotive industry are looking for candidates who can contribute safely from day one. When safety training is part of what students complete before graduation, it becomes part of their professional foundation rather than something they pick up on the job.
This partnership reflects what we have always believed: workforce development starts in the classroom. By giving CTE educators the tools to offer OSHA 10 training alongside other industry certifications, we help you build stronger pathways into high-demand skilled careers for your students.
Available Starting the 2026-2027 School Year
OSHA 10 General Industry and OSHA 10 Construction trainings through ClickSafety will be available on the BrightShift platform for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year, in both English and Spanish. If your program serves students heading into skilled trades, construction, automotive, or manufacturing careers, this is a meaningful addition to your credential offerings.
We are proud to partner with ClickSafety to expand what is possible for your students. If you have questions about how this training fits into your program or want to learn more, reach out to our team. We are here to help you find the right path forward.
