As summer holidays begin in earnest the Skills Academy still has plenty on offer for members.

July's Lunch and Learn session takes place on Friday 26th July on the topic of LGBTQIA+ activism in the union. This talk will primarily focus on how branches can be supported to establish the role of LGBTQIA+ officer and what other supports might be required to build capacity in this area.

Our union induction course for new members, Fórsa 101, runs right through summer. Applications for the August sessions on Wednesday 14th will open in the coming weeks, new members will be notified by email. When it opens the application form will be accessible here . 

Don’t miss registration deadlines for September trainings

In September, we will have level 1 and 2 workplace rep training on offer and a new communications and digital skills course for members. Details on course content for all of these can be found on our website hub .  

All our courses open for applications 10 weeks before scheduled for delivery to facilitate workplace releases so planning ahead is essential.

Finally, we are still accepting applications to our mentoring programme until August 6th.  Contact your branch or send an email to skillsacademy@forsa.ie  for the link to apply.
