(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) MONONA, Wis., Nov. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions (IAIABC) hosted the 11^th cohort of its Foundations of Workers' Compensation Program with 27 participants representing 13 jurisdictions. The IAIABC Foundations of Workers' Compensation Program is a comprehensive educational program for jurisdictional agency staff, covering regulatory, policy, and administrative topics focusing on all areas of the workers' compensation system.

There are many facets of a workers' compensation system - legal, medical, economic - and learning how they all connect to the broader goal of recovery and economic security is important. The IAIABC's Foundations of Workers' Compensation Program provides this overview and context. Participants shared perspectives and ideas and learned about the workers' compensation system through discussion sessions, courses, self-paced modules, and activities.

Reflecting on the 2025 program, one participant stated,“I truly enjoyed [The Foundations of Workers' Compensation Program] overall and hope to send more of our staff to the program in the future. Getting varying perspective on topics impacting our industry [was most valuable]."
