NSGEU Education Courses

Education Officer, Lori Smith, has developed some exciting, new Education Courses and initiatives.

With the COVID-19 related State of Emergency declared by the province on March 15, all scheduled education programs were canceled until September 2020.  But that didn’t mean NSGEU Education stopped.  Lori continued her work in revamping NSGEU Education – developing additional educational videos and working on NSGEU’s first interactive online courses – NSGEU 101 and Steward Orientation COMING SOON!

In-person classed resumed in September and have all received high uptake by the members.  Stay tuned and watch your emails for education opportunities in your Regions.
