This in-depth training program from the LABOR School at Penn State will provide your union staff with support and development to succeed in the vital, dynamic, and challenging work they do. Our program is designed for newer union staff in any role. It is intended to supplement union onboarding and training specific to your organization, while covering broad themes and skills essential for union staff. In the program, participants will assess current challenges and opportunities for the labor movement, build personal leadership and communication skills, and support one another in their current work challenges.

This program consists of five sessions over five months, with two 1.5-day long sessions in person and three sessions online. There will also be occasional asynchronous activities. Individuals will be assigned a peer partner for follow-up discussions between sessions.

The cost of this program is: $2200 per person, inclusive of all lodging and meals.
