PSAC BC Education Subsidy for the CLC Facilitator Training Course

The PSAC BC Education Program is offering two (2) education subsidies of $250 each to cover the registration costs for PSAC BC members in good standing who have applied for the CLC Facilitator Training, taking place this November in Burnaby.

We invite PSAC BC members registering for this training to apply for one of these education subsidies to help offset the registration fee. You can apply using the subsidy application form linked below.

On the application you may also outline any additional costs you expect to incur in order to attend the Facilitator Training, excluding Loss of Salary or Leave with Pay. These costs may include mileage, travel expenses, hotel accommodations, and meals beyond the lunches provided during the course. Please list these expenses with estimated dollar amounts. We also ask that you indicate any other sources of funding you have applied for or secured (e.g. Local/Branch, Component, Area Council, Regional Committee, etc.)

Please note: While we encourage members to provide this information on the application form, they are ultimately responsible for covering any additional costs associated with attending the course. This may involve obtaining support from other sources or covering expenses personally. The education subsidy is intended solely to cover the course registration fee.

PSAC BC Education will not provide subsidies to cover Loss of salary and will not provide Leave with Pay union authorization letters for attendees of the Labour School. Participants must arrange their own leave for attending the course, and confirm in writing that they have done so before any subsidy amount is paid.
