What Careersafe does

CareerSafe is an OSHA-Authorized Online Outreach Training Provider founded in 2003 and headquartered in College Station, Texas. The company operates as a subsidiary of Knowledge2Share, LLC within the K2United corporate family, and delivers online, on-demand safety and workforce-readiness training that culminates in official US Department of Labor OSHA 10-Hour and 30-Hour completion cards, as well as HAZWOPER and First Aid credentials. Its primary customers are K-12 Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs, corrections facilities (incarcerated individuals), business/corporate employers, and post-secondary/professional learners, with K-12 CTE identified as the lead segment.

The company's core technology is the CareerSafe Campus (NexGen LMS), a cloud-hosted learning management system built on AWS with HTML5-compliant course delivery, SSL encryption, SSO/OIDC/SAML authentication, LTI integration, and an open API for automated enrollment. The platform is differentiated by educator-centric features including a Gradebook, Assessment Locking, a "Student Time on Page" (STOP) anti-skip mechanism, Seat Allocation/Pool management, pretesting, and NCCER credential linking. Course content is offered in English and Spanish and spans OSHA 10-Hour Construction, OSHA 10-Hour General Industry with multiple career-pathway variants (Healthcare, Agriculture, Automotive, Cosmetology, Culinary, Law Enforcement, Manufacturing, Public Safety), OSHA 30-Hour Construction, and third-party HAZWOPER and First Aid courses delivered via UL Solutions/PureSafety.

CareerSafe's revenue model combines transactional per-seat sales to individual consumers and corporate buyers ($25–$39.99 per OSHA 10/30-Hour seat at retail; $39.99 for HAZWOPER 8-Hour Refresher) with annual School Licenses (K-12) and Site Licenses (business) that grant unlimited seats within a single school or business site for a defined term (school year through August 31; calendar year through December 31), plus ancillary fees such as $50 ($20 at education pricing) for OSHA card replacements. Distribution is primarily direct via the careersafeonline.com e-commerce storefront and direct K-12 institutional sales, supplemented by enterprise/embedded partnerships with ViaPath Technologies (CypherWorx Inspire tablet) and Securus Technologies that place CareerSafe content onto corrections-grade tablets, and by GTM alliances with CTE associations (ACTE, HOSA, NCCER, SkillsUSA, NTHS, NCSHE, SAIA). The company reports cumulative lifetime volume of more than 2 million OSHA cards earned, over 4,000 incarcerated participants in a single Washington DOC deployment, and a 4.8/5 customer-care satisfaction rating.

Revenue model

1. OSHA Course Seat Sales: CareerSafe generates revenue primarily through the sale of individual course seats. Individual consumers purchase OSHA 10-Hour and 30-Hour courses at retail prices ($25–$39.99 individual price points), while educational institutions purchase at Education Pricing per seat. Corrections facilities receive training via enterprise partnerships with ViaPath and Securus Technologies at negotiated rates. Third-party courses (OSHA 30-Hour Construction, HAZWOPER, First Aid) are provided through UL Solutions/PureSafety and PureEHS partnerships, generating revenue on each seat used.
2. School Licenses: CareerSafe offers School Licenses to K-12 and post-secondary institutions, providing unlimited seats within a single physical school to courses within a Course Library (e.g., Employability Skills, OSHA 10-Hour Training Library) for a one-time annual fee covering the school year (ending August 31).
3. Site Licenses (Business): For business customers, Site Licenses provide unlimited seats for all employees at a single business site to courses within a Course Library until December 31 of the calendar year of purchase.
4. OSHA Card Replacement Fees: CareerSafe charges $50 per replacement OSHA card for lost, damaged, or stolen cards (the single reprint allowed by OSHA regulations). Education Pricing reduces this to $20 per replacement for cards originally purchased at Education Price. Name corrections are processed at the replacement fee but do not count against the reprint limit.
5. HAZWOPER and First Aid Courses: HAZWOPER 8-Hour Refresher is priced at $39.99 for individual retail. These courses are delivered through third-party providers (PureSafety/UL Solutions). Once a student starts these courses, the seat is used and cannot be exchanged, generating guaranteed revenue per enrollment.
