ViaPath, CareerSafe, CypherWorx expand OSHA safety training access at corrections facilities

ViaPath Technologies, a secure technology and communications provider for corrections facilities, yesterday announced a new partnership with CareerSafe, an online safety education provider.

The partnership will expand access to CareerSafe’s OSHA-authorized online safety training courses through ViaPath's Inspire tablet, which is designed to help inmates transform idle time into self-improvement through access to educational content.

Through this partnership, eligible users on ViaPath's tablet platform will gain access to CareerSafe's training programs, including OSHA 10-Hour and OSHA 30-Hour credentials.

Additionally, ViaPath has partnered with CypherWorx, enabling CareerSafe to serve as an additional premium offering.

Courses include OSHA 10 & OSHA 30

The OSHA 10-Hour course provides a foundational introduction to workplace safety and health topics.

The OSHA 30-Hour course offers more comprehensive training for individuals seeking a deeper understanding of hazard recognition, prevention, and safety responsibilities.

Together, these programs can help equip learners with practical safety knowledge, nationally-recognized credentials, and skills that support workforce readiness and long-term career success.

CareerSafe expanding into workforce development institutions

CareerSafe said it further strengthened its offerings by being authorized by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to deliver OSHA 10-Hour training in educational institutions and workforce development environments.

This distinction allows CareerSafe to provide recognized safety training in settings designed to prepare learners for employment, helping expand access to valuable safety education and career readiness resources.

"Expanding access to meaningful educational and workforce training opportunities is central to our mission," said Deb Alderson, ViaPath Technologies CEO. "Our partnership with CareerSafe helps bring highly-respected vocational OSHA training programs to more learners while strengthening the continuum of services available through ViaPath's secure technology ecosystem."

CypherWorx to securely distribute access

Through ViaPath's partnership with CypherWorx, CareerSafe will serve as an additional premium offering for agencies, expanding upon an existing library of 300+ free eCourses available to learners.

"People who are currently incarcerated will almost all return to our communities one day," said Ben Jones, Corrections Tech Consulting sales executive for CareerSafe. "Our courses provide lifetime credentials, helping those individuals to find life-sustaining work, which is a key indicator in reducing recidivism, expanding access, and preparing learners for safer workplaces and stronger career outcomes."

Under this partnership, CypherWorx will securely distribute access to CareerSafe's OSHA 10-Hour and Employability Skills offering as an extension of its existing education and workforce development courses. This collaboration expands reach and strengthens access to workforce readiness resources for corrections and institutional partners.

"At CypherWorx, we are committed to delivering secure, scalable learning solutions that expand access to high‑quality education and workforce development," said Mike Maether, CypherWorx President. "By partnering with ViaPath Technologies and CareerSafe, we can securely provide OSHA‑authorized training to more learners in correctional and institutional settings. This collaboration helps our customers strengthen safety outcomes, broaden access to industry‑recognized credentials, and better prepare individuals for successful reentry into the workforce."

The partnership comes at a time of growing demand for accessible, credentials-based learning. With early interest already emerging among correctional education and institutional training providers, the partners said their collaboration is well-positioned to support customers seeking to expand employment pathways, enhance safety training, and improve reentry success.

By making these offerings more widely available, ViaPath said it continues to invest in solutions that promote education, employability, and long-term success for the individuals and communities that its correctional facility customers serve.
