The Division of Labor Studies offers an extensive noncredit program, the Union Education Program (UEP). The UEP offers workshops, short courses, and conferences that emphasize the development of union skills. UEP courses, scheduled to suit the needs of local unions and Central Labor Councils, often meet on Saturdays for three to eight consecutive weeks and are held in union halls and on IU campuses. The members of the DLS faculty travel across the state to teach UEP courses.

The DLS offers dozens of UEP courses and can design a course to meet any union's needs. Some of the course offerings include:

	Arbitration
	Collective Bargaining
	Contract Campaigns
	Family and Medical Leave Act
	Grievance Handling/Steward Training
	Indiana Workers' Rights
	Labor Law
	Legal Rights of Union Stewards
	Mobilizing the Membership
	Occupational Safety and Health
	Researching a Company/Employer
	Union Officers' Training
	Workers' Compensation

The UEP does not have admission requirements, tests, or grades. There is a nominal charge. Courses are tailored to meet the needs of a local or international union, with enrollments then limited to the contracting union. Contact the IU campus nearest you to inquire about the UEP. Participants who complete 150 hours in the UEP are awarded a Certificate of Recognition.
