   NTEU NSW trials new ACTU training for delegates

   Posted 15 May 2012 by Genevieve Kelly (NSW Division)

   We value the work of our delegates and recognise the vital role they play in our union, which is why we endeavour to ensure our delegates and activists feel trained, confident and supported in their work.
   
   The ACTU has been developing a new online system for delegate training, which was launched at ACTU Congress this morning. Based on our recent work with delegates, NTEU NSW Division was chosen to help trial these modules. Delegates Sue and Ben took part in the training and provided feedback.
   
   As a union leader I think this is a great initiative. Online training is not a replacement for face-to-face training, but it does offer another way for unions to better support delegates in their role.
   
   NTEU NSW Division views delegate development and support as a key priority, which is why we have launched a new handbook and quarterly publication for delegates this year. We have also developed introductory training sessions for delegates that are regularly held in the NSW Division Office.

   Later this week, we will be launching a new section on our website that provides information about how NTEU members can get involved in union activities.
   
   With the help of our members, activists and delegates we hope to build the NTEU and provide members with the best possible representation at work.
