VPP Application Workshop ($225 per Attendee w/ lunch provided) 8:00am – 4:00pm

The VPP Application Workshop® provides hands on experience in VPP application development.  You will be guided through the VPP application process.  Hear from industry leaders at VPP work-sites on what it takes to develop a complete and successful application.  You will learn step-by-step how to put together the major components of an application and how to properly write an application by reviewing samples from applications submitted by VPP Star work-sites.

Sustaining Star Quality Workshop ($175 per Attendee w/ lunch included) 8:00am – 2:00pm

Once your site has achieved VPP Star status, where do you go from there?  This workshop focuses on “continuous improvement,” providing information on what OSHA is looking for in the VPP re-approval, how other VPP work-sites are maintaining the level of commitment, how to make the most of your annual evaluation and what evaluation criteria are used to measure management leadership and commitment.

CPR/AED/First Aid Refresher Training Certification ($25 per Attendee) 12:00pm – 4:00pm

This American Heart Association CPR/AED/First Aid course covers how to recognize and treat adult emergencies prior to EMS arrival, how to determine when and how to administer basic first aid, learn to provide chest compressions and breaths, and effectively use an AED (automated external defibrillator.)  The course also includes a 1:1 student-mannequin ratio allowing for personalized instruction and feedback for every student. Participants will leave with an American Heart Association 2 year certification card provided by a Cintas First Aid & Safety AHA Certified instructor. REMINDER – Deadline for CPR/AED/First Aid Class Registration is Monday June 12th.

Cornhole Tournament & Scholarship Fund with Pizza ($75 per Attendee w/ pizza dinner included) Time – TBD
