The Local 1180 Education Fund provides members with a variety of opportunities to validate, develop, improve, and enhance their education and workplace skills.

Your role has evolved to initiative-taking partner! Today’s professionals engage in a dynamic new type of workplace – and are often called upon to communicate, plan, organize, and negotiate at diverse levels. Today’s professionals are also called upon to be critical thinkers, multi-taskers, risk takers, problem solvers, good communicators, and experts in human relations. 

The Local 1180 Education Fund Trustees are introducing a new format and platform for Training and are excited about how helpful it will be on a day-to-day basis and/or during the studying process. 

This innovative and powerful program is designed to help participants prepare . . . initiate . . . and adapt the skills needed to succeed in this new strategic partnership, including supporting your organization’s goals and your  goals, . . . establishing trust, credibility, and authority . . . proactively managing tasks, and to provide participants with opportunities to practice administrative skills and supervisory techniques on exercises addressing management situations and scenarios; in-basket tasks and exercises; and situations addressing judgment, diagnosis, alternatives, and rationale for selection.

This powerful program is also designed to provide exam test candidates with exam strategies and test-taking techniques and developed to provide administrative and technical professionals with a collection of ‘soft skills’ addressing workplace effectiveness.

For example, Matty an exam candidate, may find interest in Exam Strategies and Exam Prep Skills

Yvonne a technical professional, may find an interest in one of the Responsibilities covered in Preparing for Greater Responsibility and an interest in the multiple-choice exercises covered in Exam Strategies.

Leo, an administrative professional, newly appointed to the position, may express an interest in the entire program.

Targeted Audience/Advanced Preparation:  Whether you are a member with years of service or one who only joined Local 1180 recently, this collection of short Lessons can help you learn things you need to know - easily, painlessly, and privately, and is highly recommended for administrative and technical members and should be of special interest to the exam candidate seeking advanced preparation for civil service exams.
