San Diego, this one is for people with liquid-handling experience.

DGN Technologies has an on-site Bottling Technician II contract opening. You'd be dispensing products, labeling containers, assembling kits, and keeping production records. The listing asks for at least six months of hands-on pipetting or dispensing experience.

The employer lists 40 hours a week and $18 an hour on W2. If that fits what you're after, you can find the rest of the qualifications and apply here:

A visitor asks you where the accessible entrance is. Would you know, or would you have to guess?

Here's a useful thing to do before your next shift: walk the route you would give that person. Check who you'd call if they needed more help.

Our four-hour Guest Experience Course gets into the situations front desk staff, event teams, and volunteers deal with: arrivals, queues, accessibility, and helping a family when a child is missing. Course details are here:

If you list a certification on your resume, be ready to explain what you learned and how you would use it. Pick one task from the course and walk someone through it without opening your notes. If you get stuck, that is the part to practice.

Kawika gets into that in the latest EPS Dispatch, along with free training and the realities of contract work. Read it here:

Free training, contract work, and making sure people can use what we teach.

You know the work. Now learn to teach it.

I've spoken with a few of you about GIC-100. If we've had that conversation, get enrolled, finish the online foundation, and come ready to teach.

Our next live block is October 21–22, Wednesday and Thursday, 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Eastern, at EPS in Lanham, Maryland. $349.99 covers all 30 hours: 14 online plus 16 live. Maximum eight candidates.

Build lesson plans, lead a class, assess learning, and practise giving useful feedback. Use those skills to teach your own classes within your demonstrated competence and authorized course scope.

Three paths to teach with EPS: Staff Instructor, Affiliate Instructor through your own company, or Certified Training Partner for an organization-level program. Each requires separate written appointment and the applicable agreement. Certification alone does not appoint you.

Complete the online foundation before class. Full certification requires the live training, final exam, and practical teaching evaluation.

Enroll in GIC-100:

Plainfield, Illinois: Harvest In-Home Care is looking for a Home Health Aide.

This is hands-on care: helping with daily routines, keeping accurate notes, and noticing when something has changed for a client. Caregiving experience is preferred. The employer asks for availability of at least 16 hours a week, including occasional weekends, and prefers people near the service area.

If that sounds like the work you're looking for, the application is here:

Keep your training current and make sure it fits the work you do, the equipment you carry, and the state where you work. EPS has two October training options for security officers and the companies that employ them.

MARYLAND GUARD VIRTUAL: $140

EPS offers a 12-hour initial course taught live on Google Meet and delivered through Metropolitan Protective Service, Inc. (MPSI), which appears on the state's list of approved initial programs.

Thursday and Friday, October 1–2, 2026, 9 a.m.–3 p.m. Eastern both days. Both days are required.

Renewing? Guards who have not completed the 12-hour initial course must complete it for renewal. If you already completed it, renewal requires 8 hours of approved continuing training, so call EPS before booking. Course completion does not itself issue a state guard card. State approval and the application process are separate.

LESS-LETHAL HYBRID: $150

OC spray, expandable baton and handcuffing training combines online coursework with hands-on practical training and scenario-based evaluation. The online portion covers Maryland use-of-force law, the force continuum and articulation. A certificate and digital badge are issued on completion.

In-person practical: Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at EPS in Lanham, Maryland. Choose the 11 a.m.–3 p.m. or 3:15–7:15 p.m. Eastern session. Complete the online coursework before your practical session.

Enroll once through the course link in the article below, then call (410) 525-5775 to confirm your October 6 practical time. Already enrolled? Contact EPS to confirm your session. Do not buy the course again through a separate booking page.

WORKING OUTSIDE MARYLAND?

Less-lethal requirements vary by state and locality. One course certificate does not authorize carrying or using these tools nationwide. Check your regulator's requirements, state and local law, employer policy, and equipment-specific training requirements. Call EPS to confirm course fit before enrolling or arranging travel.

Full details, sources and enrollment links:

VIRTUAL Maryland Guard training: October 1–2, $140. HYBRID OC, baton and handcuffing: October 6 practical in Lanham, $150. Know your state requirements before you book.

Supervisors: try this radio drill with a new officer.

Use a fictional situation, such as an unscheduled delivery at the side entrance. One person makes the call. The other repeats back the facts and the request. Swap roles, then check what was missing or unclear. Use your site's call signs and procedure throughout.

Can the listener tell who is calling, where they are, what happened, and what they need? That is the point of the exercise.

Our free Radio and Phone Basics course introduces clear, factual communication and confirming messages. Start the lesson here:

One online lesson. Introductory. No certificate.

This course introduces practical communication standards for security personnel using radios and phones.

Here is one way to handle the Radio Check exercise. A delivery driver is at the side entrance and no delivery is scheduled.

"Control, Officer 2 at Side Entrance. Delivery driver here. No delivery scheduled. Please confirm instructions."

That gives Control the caller, location, facts, and a clear request. Use the call signs and procedure required at your site, then confirm the response. Practise it with a colleague and check whether they can repeat back what you meant.

Can your supervisor understand your radio call the first time?

"Someone's here. What do I do?" leaves the other person guessing. A clearer practice message: "Control, Gate 2. A visitor has no appointment. Please confirm access."

Identify yourself, give the location, state the facts, and make a clear request. Follow your site's radio procedure and confirm the response. That's the kind of practical communication our free Radio and Phone Basics course introduces. One lesson, online, with no certificate.
