Purpose of the Grantee Meeting
The semi-annual WTP Grantee Meeting brought grantees together to provide program updates, exchange information regarding training, and discover new areas of interest to grantees.
Purpose and Scope of the Workshop
Participants discussed how WTP grant recipients and partners are recruiting, educating, and training workers and instructors, with the intent of closing the gaps in occupational health disparities. Through interactive panels and breakout sessions, participants had an opportunity to network and discuss how to design and implement programs that reduce disparities in work-related illness, injury, and mortality across worker populations as it relates to the funding and scope of WTP.
