The Education Department designs and delivers a European training programme for trade union officers and representatives which responds to the political priorities of the ETUC and the training needs of its affiliates (national confederations and European Industry Federations).

In order to reinforce the quality of these European training activities and also to strengthen the European dimension of national trade union education, the Education Department supports three interconnected initiatives:

• Reinforcing a European trade union education community that provides a forum for the strategic development of European trade union education and for the development of new European learning and training methodologies
• Producing a wide range of European training resources that can be used by trainers working in different cultures, with different languages and in different industrial relations systems.
• Offering a EU Information Service that provides on-line information and advice on a range of EU programmes and funding opportunities that can be used to fund European trade union education activities.
