The program is aimed to:

  • Develop strategies to overcome the perceived barriers when pursuing an apprenticeship.
  • Build the union by raising awareness of our history with emphasis on the roles both the UAW/Unifor trades and women have had on our union, other Unifor women’s programs and, local union activities/campaigns.

To register, complete and sign the registration forms below (except for beige shaded area which is completed by the Local ) and email to vp1@uniforlocal707.ca or pass on to the Local 707 Union Hall prior to the July 26th Deadline.
