Alliance Training Options

The Alliance offers the following four options covering a variety of educational and training opportunities:

• Local Group Training  

• Distance Learning Programs 

• Alliance Pre-Paid Tuition  

• Dislocated Worker Options

Below is a general description of each option. If there is a program that interests you, be sure to check your eligibility.

                       Local Group Training

You can choose from a variety of Alliance training classes offered through your Alliance Local Committee (ALC) at or near your workplace. These classes reflect the needs you and your co-workers identified in surveys conducted by your ALC. To learn more about programs in your local area, click Local Group Training.

Distance Learning Programs

"The Alliance allows me to get to where I want to go in life.  The classes help me do my job better."

The Alliance offers a growing number of on-line and self-paced training options. You can upgrade your computer skills or plan your next career move without ever physically going to class. Distance Learning Programs are designed to give you greater flexibility in where and when you study. While they are not easier than group classes, they meet the needs of people who are remotely located, have second jobs or child care responsibilities - anyone whose schedule won’t allow them to attend group classes.

The Alliance Pre-Paid Tuition (PPT) Program
