The Education Department offers one, two, and three day courses in communities across the country. All courses are facilitated by trained Unifor members (Discussion Leaders or "DLs").  

These classes are designed specifically to bring education to members close to where they live and work, right in their communities. This makes it easier for members to attend and reduces costs for local unions.

Area Schools operate on a 50/50 cost share, however, travel outside of a members home community is not covered by the National Area School Program. We understand that special circumstances arise. In this case, a Local President can reach out to the department, in advance to registration for pre-approval. Please carefully read the 2024 Guidelines for Local Union Reimbursement for Area Schools & Online Education for all financial details.
