Education
Education Equals Greater Impact
Education is a top priority for ULRI. We translate our safety science research into education for a variety of stakeholders — from firefighters and built environment professionals to graduate and elementary school students. We concentrate our efforts on providing:
- Continuing education and certification for specialized professions
- Open-access STEM resources for teachers and community educators
- STEM opportunities for students of all ages
Doing so allows us to expand our impact and make the world a safer, more sustainable place.
Continuing Education
We offer continuing education and certification opportunities for specialized professionals on relevant safety topics — from how to fight battery fires or wildfires; to reducing PFAS exposure in the built environment and health protection strategies for WUI fires.
Institute for Research Experiences & Education
The Institute for Research Experiences & Education’s mission is to build the future of safety science through open-access educational resources, programs, and research for students and educators ranging from elementary school to post-graduate degrees, internships, and fellowships.
Leveraging ULRI research outcomes, the institute offers free educational resources for educators and students, and professional development and career readiness opportunities for under-resourced students in STEM.
For Students
The Future of Safety Science
Today’s students are tomorrow’s safety scientists. We engage students of all ages — from kindergarten to graduate school — through community outreach, learning resources, and career pathways.
Xplorlabs
