The Education department organises 2 transnational courses each year designed to improve the quality of transnational projects for trade union officers.

The aims of those courses are

• To provide project managers with the additional skills and tools needed for managing and running transnational projects effectively
• To enable participants to share and evaluate their experience in planning and management of projects

Target group: trade union officers responsible for developing, co-ordinating and managing transnational projects. One of the courses is particularly aimed at trade union officers from CEE organisations.

The Education department of ETUI-REHS can assist and provide advice, though material and expertise, to national confederations and industry federations on running courses for less experienced participants, such as:

• beginners

and

• intermediate level participants

For further details on levels and modules, please consult the paper “Training Trade Union Project Officers”, available from our Resource Centre.

In addition to the general project management courses, we also organise training courses on specific EU funding programmes related to education, employment and research, such as the budget lines for social dialogue, the Life-long learning Programme, the European Social Fund 2007-2013, and the 7th Framework Programme on research and development

Here is a list of the most recent courses we have organised, including their programmes, the materials used and the list of participants, to give you an idea of how these courses are designed and delivered:
