Area Schools

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 opportunities 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 School courses are either run at the request of locals on a first come first serve basis or pre-scheduled by the Unifor on a rotating basis in each region. Please contact us to set up your class or chat about details (see details below).
