Apply for our interdisciplinary occupational health and safety traineeship, open to UW graduate and professional students and professionals (non-degree students) with bachelor's degrees.
This new traineeship offers an opportunity for individuals in all disciplines and professions to explore and consider how dimensions and contexts of work influence the health and well-being of populations and can better inform their own disciplinary research or practice.
Trainees will gain knowledge and skills to address adverse employment and working conditions, as well as methods to protect and promote health among workers. Trainees may be eligible to receive one quarter of funding during the quarter they complete their capstone project. To qualify for the scholarship, applicants must be eligible to receive federal funding.
