CWA Canada offering free video editing training course

CWA Canada is offering a free video editing course for members. This professional development course will take place in Toronto from Nov. 12 to 16 and will involve five half-day sessions, mornings or afternoons. It will cover the basics of video production using the Final Cut Pro editing system.

All union members are eligible for the course, but enrolment is limited to 16. Applicants must be able to demonstrate they will use this training in their job in the near future. Preference will be given to applicants who have been recently laid off or whose jobs are threatened.

CWA Canada will cover travel and accommodation for out-of-town participants. Locals will be responsible for wage replacement. The successful candidates will be expected to do some online work in advance of the course start date.

If you're interested, please contact your Local president to confirm that the Local will cover wage replacement if necessary. Then, send an e-mail to CWA Canada Administrative Co-ordinator Marj Botsford with your name, location, contact information, employer name, job classification, and a brief note outlining why the course would be an asset to your employment situation and/or professional development. The deadline for applications is October 12.
