College Students & Recent Graduates Turn to the ISHM’s Certifications for Career Advancement

YUMA, Ariz. - April 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Professional credentials can make a tremendous difference in the career of a health and safety manager.  This fact is recognized by many seasoned professionals, but the value and benefits of professional credentials is not always conveyed to college students preparing for a career in health and safety management.

To help health and safety students prepare for the competitive nature of the industry, the Institute for Safety and Health Management (ISHM) is making an effort to educate students about professional certifications.  The ISHM administers the Certified Safety and Health Manager (CSHM) certification and the Associate Safety and Health Manager (ASHM) and Certified Safety Management Practitioner (CSMP) programs.  

“The certifications offered by the ISHM are internationally recognized,” reported Larry Curtis, CSHM, Executive Director of ISHM.  “Each of the three certification programs offers health and safety graduates and seniors preparing to begin their careers with value, recognition and the ability to help them advance their careers.  The various programs have different prerequisites and offer a professional certification path for new health and safety managers.  We encourage potential applicants to visit the ISHM website to learn more information and to begin the application process.”

The ISHM’s certification programs have made those professionals who have earned the certifications highly sought after by both industry and government institutions.  Today, more and more HR professionals rely on the ISHM’s CSHM, ASHM and CSMP designations to identify qualified candidates to fill critical safety and health management positions.
