Graduates have a valuable skill set that is in steady demand for occupational and environmental safety and health positions. Often they have a career choice either to develop their technical skills or broaden into supervisor or management positions.

Our alumni work in public sector such as regulatory agencies (e.g. CalOSHA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), scientific agencies (e.g. the California Department of Health Services and the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health) and universities, and large public agencies to carry out a variety of activities, including on-site inspections to ensure compliance with standards, risk assessment, standards development, and providing consultation services; to conduct research or perform field studies involving exposure assessment and control; and to protect their employees and ensure compliance with regulations.

Many graduates work with private employers to develop and implement company health and safety plans to protect employees and ensure compliance with OSHA and other regulations. Some companies rely on private consultants for exposure assessment and design of controls. Many alumni find exciting careers with these consulting firms.
