Did you know NSO offers training to its affiliates? Is your affiliate interested in receiving union-centered training? We offer a variety of trainings for members, either live or virtually. Below is a list of some of the trainings offered to affiliates. This list is not exhaustive.
Should your affiliate need a specific training, facilitated discussion, conflict mediation, or some other unique presentation, NSO can work collaboratively to design a training module to fit your needs.
