Michigan Road Scholar Program

MRSP is designed to meet the training needs for frontline public works employees. This three-year (one week per year) program is designed to train in most aspects of municipal road right-of-way work tasks and is non-sequential so that one may start the three-year cycle at any time.

Offering a powerful collection of training sessions, this program is designed to bring your career to a new level of professionalism. Topics covered during the three years:

• OSHA 10-Hour Course
• Work Zone Safety
• Snow and Ice Control
• Flagger Certification
• Traffic Incident Management
• Equipment Operations and Safety
• Mutual Aid Disaster Training
• Plan Sets, Grade Setting, and GIS
• Accessibility Guidelines
• MUTCD/Signage Standards
• Pavement Management
• Tree Pruning/Chainsaw & Chipper Safety
• Driving/Trailer Safety
• Pesticide Use/Licensing
• Pipe Materials/Construction Techniques
• Trenching/Shoring
