CEP Education Program
The CEP National Education Program has enjoyed
considerable success since we started to set it up shortly after our merger.
Over 3,000 members now attend courses each year, and the demand is increasing.
Unions have always
been actively involved in the education of their members.
One of the many advantages of our 1992 merger to form the Communications, Energy
and Paperworkers Union was that we could combine resources and improve our
education services. We started to build a comprehensive, national education
programme.
The program aims to:
Contact your steward, a
member of your local executive or your national representative for more details.
Funding
The CEP national
education programme is being developed by the national union. It pays for
developing courses, producing support materials such as videos and manuals,
training staff course leaders, and providing staff to lead the courses.
Your local pays the cost
for you to attend a CEP course.
Local policy varies on
what expenses are covered, how payment is made, how much is paid and who is
eligible. Contact your steward, a member of your local executive or your
national representative for more details.
The
programmes we offer include the following:
CEP Non-Traditional Scholarship Program
in Recognition of December 6th, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on
Violence Against Women
One Non-traditional scholarship worth $2,000 in recognition of the National
Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women (December 6) is each
year made available to members and children of members pursuing full time
post-secondary education at a recognized institution such as university,
college, CEGEP, technical or other schools, in non-traditional fields of trades,
technology, operations and blue collar.
The scholarships are available to women who are students and HAVE COMPLETED
THEIR SECONDARY STUDIES (11th or 12th grade, Secondary V) and enter or undertake
POST-SECONDARY STUDIES at college, university, CEGEP or technological
institutes. The following applicants are eligible:
- - CEP members in good standing;
- - Children of CEP members in good standing;
- - Children of CEP members who passed away while in good standing;
- - Children of CEP members who retired in good standing.
The selection of successful applicants will be made by a person appointed by
the President on behalf of the Executive Board. Selections made by that person
will be final.
Applicants must complete the attached CEP Non-traditional Scholarship form,
have it signed by a CEP Local Union Officer and send it to Communications,
Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada (Scholarships), 350 Albert St., Suite
