Course Catalog! We are excited to be bringing you another year of training at 32BJ!

We continue to offer vital, engaging, and accessible Courses that are designed to

help you excel at your job and advance in your career and within the industry.

the Training Fund has plenty to offer. With almost 150 Course titles at 40 locations

and over a dozen online options, it’s easier than ever to take advantage of your

32BJ Training Fund benefit.

If you think you don’t have time for a full Course, be sure to check out our Quick Courses.

Quick Courses are indicated with an orange title. We offer Quick Courses throughout

the year on more than 100 diverse topics including Electricity Troubleshooting,

Green Roofs, Citizenship, Floor Care: Wood, Floor Care: Carpet, Time Management and

Customer Service. It may be one 3 hour session for Chemical Safety in the Workplace or

six 3 hour sessions for an ESL Pronunciation Intensive, but chances are we have a Quick

Course that meets your needs and schedule.

With all of these options, you may want some guidance to help you choose the right Courses

Nos complace presentarle otro año de capacitación en 32BJ.

Tanto si usted es un estudiante vet-erano como si está planeando tomar su primera clase, el Fondo de capacitación tiene mucho que ofrecerle. Con casi 150 cursos en 40 ubicaciones y más de una docena de opciones en línea, es más sen-cillo que nunca aprovechar el beneficio de capacitación de 32BJ financiado por el empleador.

Si cree que no tiene tiempo para realizar un curso completo, no deje de consultar nuestros cursos rápidos. Los cursos rápidos están indicados con un título naranja. Ofrecemos cursos rápidos a lo largo de todo el año sobre más de 100 temas distintos que incluyen solución de problemas eléctricos, tejados ecológicos, ciudadanía, cuidado de pisos: madera, cuidado de pisos: moqueta, gestión del tiempo y servicio al cliente. Puede tratarse de una sesión de 3 horas sobre seguridad con productos químicos en el lugar de trabajo o seis sesiones de 3 horas de un curso intensivo de pronunciación de Inglés como segundo idioma (ESL), pero es muy posible que tengamos un curso rápido que satisfaga sus necesi-dades y sus horarios.

Con todas estas opciones, puede que quiera algo de orientación para elegir los cursos correctos para alcanzar sus objetivos. Por este motivo creamos Career Tracks (Vías profesionales): listas de cursos agrupados por trabajo.

Las Career Tracks se organizaron con la aportación de los empleadores y aseguran que usted cuente con las habilidades adecuadas y las certificaciones necesarias para alcanzar el siguiente nivel en su carrera profesional.
