Get academic and career advice from industry professionals!

The 1199SEIU Training and Employment Funds (TEF) provide services to eligible 1199SEIU members in three basic categories:

  • Training and Education — classes, workshops, programs and assistance for healthcare workers seeking to advance their careers.
  • Job Security and Employment — services, programs and assistance for workers who have been laid-off or are seeking employment.
  • Labor-Management Projects — helping workers, the Union and management collaborate to resolve common challenges.

If I didn't have my Training benefits, I doubt very much that I would ever have gone to college. And now, I'm both a college graduate and an RN! It doesn't get any better.
