Your eligibility depends on the particular collective bargaining agreement or participa-tion agreement covering your employment. Generally, the waiting period for training is 90 days unless otherwise specified in your collective bargaining agreement or participa-tion agreement. If you become ineligible and are out of work for more than 91 days, you may be required to complete the waiting period again. If you are taking a class when you become ineligible you will be allowed to complete your classes for that trimester.

However, once you lose eligibility, you may not enroll in any new Courses.

About UsThe 32BJ Training Fund is a joint labor- management partnership that offers training to eligible participants at no cost. The fund is supported by contributions negotiated between 32BJ SEIU and participating employ-ers. Our mission is to train every participant to grow to the next level. We want to contin-ually raise the standards of our industry by providing 32BJ members with the tools they need to meet the challenges of a changing industry.

At the 32BJ Training Fund everything we do supports that one goal of making it pos-sible for our members to get the education, training, and skills they need to grow in the quickly changing property services industry.

CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT

FOR LEARNING

Participants who take Courses through the 32BJ Training Fund are hardworking people who make a commitment to their personal and professional development. Our Rules & Regulations are distributed at the start of each Course. You are expected not only to read the Rules & Regulations, but also to show your fellow students the respect they deserve by abiding by these rules.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

Minimum attendance of 80 percent is required. Unfortunately, academic and computer classes that do not have regular attendance of at least eight students may be closed or combined. We will do our best to accommodate all students in another section. Ask your instructor to assign make-up work to improve your attendance rate.

COURSE/QUICK COURSE PREREQUISITES

Some Courses and Quick Courses require you to complete a prerequisite—a preparatory Course—before you enroll. Some Courses require minimum reading and math skills. Mastery of these skills can be established by presenting a High School Diploma or its equivalent from an English-speaking country, or by passing a standardized test at regis-tration. These prerequisites are noted above each Course description.

EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSINGS

To inquire about the possible cancellation of classes in the event of a weather emergency or other hazardous conditions, call 212-388-3701 for Courses in Manhattan. For other locations contact your Site Manager; see pages 10-14.

NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY

The 32BJ Training Fund does not discrimi-nate on the basis of race, color, age, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, ethnicity, or religion in the administration of its educa-tional or admission policies.

TEST OUT AVAILABLE

The 32BJ Training Fund allows members to test out of some prerequisite Courses, where available. This is indicated above each Course description.
