Education & Training

Education and Training.

The Northern Ireland Regional Secretary has been developing an Education Programme aimed at delivering union courses here in the Region. The benefits of this are twofold, one, it makes courses much more accessible to our members, especially those with family committments, and it is much more economically viable, especially in todays climate where union finance and reducing expenditure is at the top of everyone's agenda.

There are a number of points to note:

Equality & Diversity Course is Mandatory for all Branch Reps.
Most of these courses attract Paid Leave.

All Courses are dependent on sufficient numbers applying,

we require a minimum of 8 students for most courses.

Every effort will be made to ensure courses are scheduled at

suitable venues to minimise students travelling time.

Branches are reminded that other courses can be scheduled if

required.

All applications should be forwarded to Maxine at the:

Education Centre, Alvescot Lodge, as early as possible.
