"As an educator you play an important role in teaching the skills necessary
for your students to succeed in the working world. In many cases, the information
you provide them about workplace safety and health and what their rights and
responsibilities as an employee are will be the only training many will ever
recieve."

are able to put their newly acquired skills to good use rehabilitating and
building housing for low-income and homeless people in their communities.
