Course Selection
Members have asked us for more choices for union school courses and we’ve listened to you!

This year, we’re trying something new by offering union school participants a veritable smorgasbord of courses to choose from for each day of the union school!

For each day of the school, we’ll be offering 5 different courses:

  1. On Day 1 of the school, you’ll have the choice to select 1 course from the 5 different courses offered that day.
  2. On Day 2, we’ll offer a new selection of 5 courses and ask you to pick 1 that you’d like to take.
  3. On Day 3, you’ll get to choose 1 course from another selection of 5 course topics.
  4. Participants will take a different course for each day of the school for a total of 3 courses altogether.
  5. For example, if PSAC member Jane attends the union school, on Day 1 she may choose to register for “Building an Inclusive Union.” On Day 2, she may register for “If People Counted! Popular Economics for Union Activists.” And on Day 3, she might register for “Understanding the Nuts and Bolts of Disability Insurance.”
Day 1 - Friday October 3rd

With this application I agree that, if selected, I will attend and participate in all sessions of the Union School.

I have read the Alliance policy documents on human rights and harassment provided by my local and understand my responsibilities in accordance with them.

If you have any questions about the Union School, please call the PSAC Vancouver Regional Office 604-430-5631 or 1-800-663-1655.

We are particularly interested in hearing from members who are not applying because of barriers to attendance (e.g., scheduling conflict; cannot obtain leave from employer; registration fee prohibitive; school topics not relevant to learning needs; etc.).

Please advise us of any such barriers so that we can address these concerns when planning future Union Schools.
