iKeepSafe and CareerSafe Establish Partnership to Provide Digital Safety

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS – November 22, 2019 – On July 25, 2019 CareerSafe established a partnership with iKeepSafe (the Internet Keep Safe Coalition©) to deliver a safe and secure digital environment for children, schools, and families.

“We are honored to have received the iKeepSafe Privacy Certification for COPPA and FERPA," said Dr. Larry D. Teverbaugh, Founder and CEO of CareerSafe. "The iKeepSafe certification recognizes our commitment to creating a safe and secure environment for the students, teachers, parents, and individuals who use our online training content to better prepare them for success in the workplace.  Achieving this nationally recognized certification is another important step in our ongoing mission to protect the privacy of our users.”

FERPA (Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act) gives confidence to educators and parents that student data is safe with CareerSafe.  COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) assures parents and teachers that CareerSafe is compliant.  CSPC (California Student Privacy Certified) builds on iKeepSafe’s FERPA Assessment and COPPA Safe Harbor, which help educators and parents find products that meet the expectations of federal privacy laws.

CareerSafe was conceived from a simple vision that No Job is Worth a Young Worker's Life.  Advanced through the hard work of CTE educators and professionals alike and actualized by an unrelenting desire to see safety and health awareness as a life-long, foundational skill, CareerSafe reached a milestone of training one million students in 2017. Today, CareerSafe online courses are in use by over 4,000 educational organizations located in all fifty states.
