Following a training at the ETUI: why?

is an obvious asset for learning about and dealing with the most strategic trade union issues.
can help develop trade union action.
Training at European level
3.
Training at “inter-union” level All training courses are at “inter-union” level according to different models of trade union action.
5.
Training through active methods The ETUI’s educational choice puts the trainee at the centre of the learning exercise, to share his experience with his peers through numerous cooperative activities.
Training in key and cross-sectional skills
4.
Training at “multi-level” with the wealth of the broad cultural diversity of different countries and their different prevailing situations.
6.
Easy registration Registration is always carried out by the trade union confederations or European federations; all you have to do, is contact the officials and ask to participate. The ETUI selects the participants in close cooperation with its members.

Training through a learning path
Training with one’s peers
because the ETUI’s educational offer provides several flexible educational paths capable of meeting all needs, including language training (English and French for trade unionists).
The ETUI’s education is focused on specific targets: for instance, training for young executives or for members of European Works Councils, or specialists in project management.

Practical questions Who will receive information on each of our training activities? Courses and the opening of applications are announced around three months in advance by email to all members, national confederations and European trade union federations. These mails are sent out to the addresses provided to us as the contact for each organisation. Sometimes trade union organisations change the person responsible and do not let us know the new contact details; for others the address is not for a specific person. In any event we will update our records when necessary; all you need to do is to send the new mail address to us (to Nathalie De Vits, ndevits@etui.org). We also notify previous participants of new courses.
What information is given in these notifications? Three months beforehand, in addition to the details already given in the course programme, the general aims of the programme, the target profile for participants, the cost of the course and the procedure for completing the application form are confirmed, along with the working languages, the venue and the partners involved.
Can any trade unionist sign up? How does the ETUI know which trade union officers are taking part? Applications are submitted by trade union organisations. Normally more people apply than the number of places available. In that case the ETUI selects the participants. The selection process takes account of how well applicants fit the defined profile, but that is not the sole criterion. Consideration is also given to the number of participants per organisation, per country and per working language, gender diversity, embodying the practical application of trade union values, ensuring a multicultural European dimension and favourable educational conditions. Where not all the applicants from an organisation are able to take part, we hold discussions with the head of training for that organisation in order to be able to understand and fit in with the priorities of their human resources policy. Direct applications on the initiative of individuals are not accepted but are referred to their national confederation.

Must the ETUI training be paid for? Is there an enrolment fee? There is indeed an enrolment charge. It serves as a contribution to the ETUI’s budget and also aims to promote responsibility. It is more in the way of a contribution to costs than a market price. The ETUI receives European funding. 85% of our income is European public money; the remaining 15% comes from various sources, and the contribution made by these enrolment fees is a very significant part. However, it is important to highlight the solidarity-based nature of the system of standard rates applied. Trade union organisations make equal contributions for all participants regardless of whether they will be flying from the farthest reaches of Europe or live within cycling or metro distance of the course venue. Or if they need to stay an extra night because of the plane timetables. There is a daily rate, currently €60, for each day of training; it can be reduced by 40% or 25% by agreement with the country of origin. We then apply the same rules and groups of countries that the ETUC applies in its recently adopted internal quota system.
How can we find out more information or get clarifications on a particular course? There are contact details for Education officers and administrative assistants for each forthcoming training course listed in the course programme. Any of them can be contacted directly or by mail. See ‘Your Contacts’ chapter.
Do the ETUI’s training courses include any form of assessment? And do organisations which sent participants receive any feedback on their performance? At present we cannot say that there will be a generalised or systematic assessment. The nature of trade union training does not lend itself to any particular emphasis on training assessment (based on what participants learn), and it has not traditionally been encouraged. However, interaction with the certification and validation of training in some courses has already resulted in procedures to demonstrate the skills acquired. Another aspect for consideration in the future is the assessment of the training itself (based on the impact that the qualification of trade union officials trained by us has on the trade union organisations to which they belong). Under these circumstances we do not propose to keep systematic information on each participant, but the ETUI training officers can be approached for information by training officers in member organisations.

Does ETUI training lead to a qualification? Some of our courses already lead to a qualification. This is the case for the courses on project management and courses for eurotrainers. Work on the courses for young leaders is in progress. Others will follow. The problem for a European institution is that the European system for qualifications operates at national level. For this reason we are already working in close collaboration with the TUC in the UK and the University of Lille, France, whose support has been invaluable. Independently from this process, all participants will receive a certificate of participation, with adequate descriptions of time frames and content for validation of the skills acquired by national bodies.

The ETUI offers pedagogical pathways, allowing training participants to progressively build-up knowledge, skills and attitudes, so they can reach specific medium to long-term training goals. Whilst our various educational activities can be treated as distinct entities, they can also be used as ‘stepping stone’ and be arranged in such a ways that they constitute a pathway towards a training goal.
