FIRST QUARTER 2016 63 EDUCATION AND TRAINING

IATSE TTF PRESENTS AT THE INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

IATSE Training Trust Fund Executive Director, Liz Campos and International Trustee/Director of Education and Training, Pat White were invited to present at the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans – Institute for Apprenticeship, Training and Education this January. Liz and Pat spoke to an audience of almost three hundred training directors, employers, and unions on a panel about Recruitment and Retention in a Changing Economy. The IATSE Training Trust Fund is unique among joint employer training programs because the training is for workers already in the workforce as opposed to traditional labor-management apprenticeship programs. The IATSE Training Trust Fund approach to include workers’ voices in the curriculum, the Train the Trainer model of building capacity at the Local levels for training, and using worker input to shape the direction of programs was well received.
