Reps Education and Organising Programme

TSSA Reps Education and Organising Programme Tree

Introduction


The role of trade union education plays a pivotal role in providing the skills, knowledge and experience necessary for reps to develop their role and grow in confidence. The structure of the programme has been devised to create a progression route whereby TSSA representatives will gain the skills and knowledge, while experience will be tracked and additional courses provided to ensure you feel confident and encouraged to rise to your role.

If you would like more advice or support with your choice of courses, contact Jon Clark on 020 7529 8016, or via email at clarkj@tssa.org.uk.
