Recruitment and organisation news

Organising academy seeks new trainees

The TUC’s Organising Academy, which trains people to become full-time union organising and recruitment workers, is now recruiting its next intake.

The first recruitment stage takes place in July, when the Academy holds two-day, regional “development centres” in London, Newcastle, Manchester, Cardiff, Exeter, Glasgow and Birmingham – events that are also open to those who just want to learn more about organising.

An information pack, which includes a development centre application form, can be downloaded from www.tuc.org.uk/organisation/tuc-5648-f0.cfm or obtained by calling Anjum Klair at the TUC on 020 7467 1361.
