Employee Participation Conference

The name says it all. It's about getting employees more involved in education and their workplaces. We hold this conference several times a year to do just that.

Over the course of five days, employees learn about NTC programs and UAW and Chrysler history. More importantly, they tell us how we can better meet their training needs. They tell us about barriers they've faced in trying to go to school while holding down a full-time job. They tell us how we can help.

We listen. And we develop or modify programs accordingly.

Small-group discussions led by employees get participants thinking about their personal and professional goals, or about becoming involved in their local unions. Many become so fired up, they take what they've learned back to their facilities to share with other employees (which is what we hope will happen).

How do I sign up?

If you haven't already attended an Employee Participation Conference and would like to, talk to a member of your Local Joint Training Committee (your local union president, plant manager, shop chair or personnel manager). They're responsible for selecting individuals to attend.

Questions on Employee Participation Conferences go to Brenda Pryor or Dorothy Jett-Carter at the NTC.
