This series of non-credit courses is designed to equip labor activists, stewards, and leaders to meet the challenges facing today’s labor movement. Classes are offered through partnerships with local labor councils around the commonwealth.
Our executive leadership program focuses on movement building and increasing capacity for leading change. Through three intensive retreats, leaders envision the movement they want to build, the role of leadership in doing so, and organizational strategies to achieve a renewed movement.
The program is designed for principal officers and other labor leaders with a significant sphere of influence. The next cohort of this program will begin in July 2027. See the flyer for more detailed information!
When you are most effective in your role, you help members exercise their power and drive our movement forward. Participants in this program will gain a foundational understanding of our labor history and uncover the structure and relationships that shape today’s labor movement.
Our faculty regularly teach in the UALE Northeast Summer School for Women in Unions and Worker Organizations, offered every summer at a different regional location. One of four residential programs sponsored by the United Association for Labor Education, the school brings together labor women to gain knowledge, skills, and support to become more active leaders.
Save the Date! The 49th UALE Northeast Summer School for Women in Unions and Worker Organizations will take place on July 20-24, 2026 at the City University of New York in New York City.
Stay tuned for more information about upcoming programming.
