When Local 79 talks about good jobs and the important protections contained in our Collective Agreements, we tend to focus on things like employment security, predictability, and living wages (check out our Good Jobs TO campaign!). However, access to quality training is an equally important part of a good job.
Training helps workers adapt to changing circumstances. It helps them work more efficiently, increasing their sense of accomplishment and job satisfaction. It turns obstacles into challenges that can be overcome. Most importantly, it ensures workers don’t just have a job… they have a career path. This year, we surveyed members to find out about their training needs. Click to see a report on what we found.
