The Fórsa Skills Academy has several exciting events lined up this October and November, starting with a Lunch and Learn session on Friday 25th October.

The topic, Building Effective Industrial Relations Locally, will be led by guest speaker Brendan Cunningham, a former Regional Manager with the Workplace Relations Commission. This session is essential for workplace representatives and branch officers, so all branches are strongly encouraged to register for this valuable talk.

In addition, the monthly induction for new members is scheduled for Wednesday 13th November. This session will introduce members to how the union operates, the role of local workplace representatives, and how members can get involved in union activities directly in their workplace. 

For those with experience, there are still a few spots available for the Level 2 Workplace Representatives Training on Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th November in Galway. If you have completed Level 1 training or have more than two years of experience as a workplace representative, we encourage you to register soon, as places are limited. 

Lastly, due to high demand, a second workshop with Brendan Cunningham on Industrial Relations (IR) in the Civil Service has been added for October. This opens up spaces in the original November 6th workshop, now available exclusively to representatives from non-Civil Service branches. Don’t sit around - secure your spot now! 

Details of all Skills Academy trainings can be found on the dedicated training hub on forsa.ie.
