History
Though its focus has shifted with the changing needs and interests of members, the UFCW 832 Training Centre opened in the nineties on the principle of providing accessible education.
- Union Activists can learn more about how to be effective Shop Stewards and Health & Safety Committee members.
- Union members can be certified in First Aid, receive career transition support when laid off or workplaces close, or take on additional general training and/or receive funding for post-secondary education for themselves or their children.
- The public can update their Adult High School education, advance their skills in English as an additional language or become certified as a Manitoba Security Guard.
