International Union UAW Education Department Conference
Delegates from UAW Region 8 are attending the UAW Education Department annual Education Committees Conference on April 24-29, 2022. The conference is being held at The Walter and May Reuther UAW Family Education Center, in Onaway, Michigan.
Delegates will learn how to run their committees and build skills for presenting workshops at their locals. Attendees will participate in workshops covering topics such as adult learning styles, visual aids and media, strategic planning to grow committees, and facilitation techniques. Returning delegates will participate in workshops that cover topics that should be taught at local unions like UAW 101, understanding bargaining, strikes, and grievances, and how to participate effectively in union meetings. After successfully completing the workshops, delegates will be granted access to the Education Department’s curriculum kits for use at the local union. |
