Education and Training

The USJE provides training geared to the specific needs and concerns of our members. We are proud to be one of a small group of PSAC Components to offer such “in-house” education opportunities.

USJE has a pre-established annual training schedule that is delivered monthly across the country. Trainings are delivered in a different province each month for nine of the twelve months per year. This schedule is determined by a draw.

PSAC Education

PSAC also offers education courses. USJE members attending PSAC training will be compensated for loss of wages up to their daily rate of pay when training is during their work week. USJE will also compensate members attending weekend PSAC courses up to an amount equivalent to their daily rate of pay for each day in attendance on their scheduled days of rest. You must provide proof of attendance.

Did You Know: Union Education Sponsored by USJE

For members participating in PSAC education courses, know that USJE will pay your salary to take part in courses that occur on your scheduled day of rest. For courses that take place on your scheduled workdays, PSAC will cover your salary.

Training is an essential part of strengthening your skills and understanding as a union member, and USJE supports our members looking to expand their knowledge. PSAC offers a wide variety of training from union basics to advanced grievance handling. If you take these courses on a weekend or on your scheduled day of rest and PSAC does not provide you with salary compensation, please submit this form along with your training completion certificate to USJE Finance at for payment.
