Unifor offers a number of introductory courses online via our e-learning platform. These online courses cover everything that a newly elected local executive needs to know to develop skills as a leader.
We offer two types of online learning options:
1. Mini Self-Directed Modules
Unifor offers a number of mini self-directed modules that allow members to get a taste of various subjects. These modules can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to complete.
Try our featured Mini Self-Directed Module: So you’re a union rep…now what?
Whether you have been a workplace rep for a while, are new to the role or considering running for a position, this 30-minute module will connect you with information you need.
The self-directed course covers:
- grievance handling,
- human rights, and
- health and safety.
Feel free to revisit the module whenever you like, and we hope you encourage others to check it out.

Course requirements for each participant
Each member / participant will need their own set up: A personal email address (No employer emails due to firewalls), a computer equipped with a web camera (webcam) as well as a microphone and speakers (or headphones), and a stable internet connection. A tablet (e.g., iPad) or phone can also be used but not ideal because of their size.
