Weeklong Paid Training Program

In October, the Local Union welcomed more than 50 Members, Stewards, and Health & Safety Committee Members to the 2023 Weeklong Paid Training Programs.

These programs run once a year and offer members the opportunity to take part in five days of learning and networking with course content tailored to the topics relevant to each group.

The Local Union covers the cost of the course, materials, and instruction as well as the members' lost wages, per diems, transportation, and accommodations as per Local Union policies. Visit ufcw175.com/weeklong for more information on course content and look for applications to open for next year's Weeklong Paid Training between April 1 and June 30, 2024.

I've learned quite a bit. I've taken a lot of notes; taking that back with me, going to teach a lot of my team members. They're looking forward to me coming back and sharing everthing that I've learned... I think knowledge is power and I think any time you have an opportunity to learn, you should take advantage of it. So, defiitely do it.
