The CLC has had a long history of providing union education development and delivery. We develop and deliver education courses and programs as well as resource materials for use by affiliated unions and for the CLC's internal regional delivery system. These schools are organized and coordinated by our four regional offices in the Atlantic, Ontario, the Prairies, and British Columbia. CLC education helps local unions to deal with problems of officer, steward and activist turnover, geographical isolation, newly organized units and, as well, provides a forum for affiliates to share ideas and practices in response to common problems.
Labour education is for workers and delivered by workers.
This means that the course recognizes the value of participants' trade union experience and builds on this collective knowledge. Labour education does not aim simply to help workers understand problems and issues we face, but rather to plan and implement actions to change them. Here are some of the more popular courses offered by the Labour Education Program. Please contact us for more information.
