Steward Fundamentals is a two-day foundation-level course for all

stewards. It focusses on the essential skills every steward needs to

know. Through discussion and interactive group activities, you will

be introduced to the key roles and responsibilities of a steward as

advocate, educator, organizer and communicator. Stewards will

leave feeling more confident and effective in their role and skillful in

their interactions with members and the employer.

This course is for elected stewards and local officers who have not

previously taken the Basic Steward Training in the past five years.

We recommend that stewards and local officers take the one-day

STEP UP course before taking Steward Fundamentals.

 A union-paid leave-of-absence is provided for this course.

 Travel, meals and accommodation, if required, are also

provided.

 Reasonable child and/or other dependent care expenses may

be reimbursed.
