When Kehinde Akande came to Canada in 2018, he knew he wanted to pursue additional education.
He already had a chemistry degree and several years of experience in environmental issues, but he was looking to get more into health and safety. After researching several OHS programs, he chose Herzing’s because it was online, flexible, and fast.
