Eligibility
Eligibility for the 32BJ Training Fund
is fully detailed in the Summary Plan
Description (SPD) available online at
training.32bjfunds.com or by calling
Member Services at 800-551-32BJ (3225),
Mon–Fri, 8am–5pm.
Your eligibility depends on the
particular collective bargaining agreement or participation agreement covering your employment. Generally, the
waiting period for training is 90 days
unless otherwise specified in your collective bargaining agreement or
participation agreement.
If you become ineligible and are out of
work for more than 91 days, you may be
required to complete the waiting period
again. If you are taking a class when you
become ineligible you will be allowed to
complete your classes for that trimester.
If you are participating in a year-long
course and you lose eligibility during the
second trimester, you may complete the
third trimester of that course. However,
once you lose eligibility, you may not
enroll in any new courses.
CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT FOR LEARNING
Participants who take Courses through
the 32BJ Training Fund are hardworking
people who make a commitment to their
personal and professional development.
Our Rules & Regulations are distributed
at the start of each Course. You are
expected not only to read the Rules &
Regulations, but also to show your fellow
students the respect they deserve by
abiding by these rules.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Minimum attendance of 80 percent
is required. Unfortunately, academic
and computer classes that do not have
regular attendance of at least eight
students may be closed or combined.
We will do our best to accommodate
all students in another section. Note in
certain circumstances your instructor
can assign make-up work to improve
your attendance rate.

a standardized test at registration.
These prerequisites are noted above

CREACIÓN DE UN AMBIENTE
PARA EL APRENDIZAJE
Los participantes que toman cursos
a través del 32BJ Training Fund son
personas muy trabajadoras que muestran un gran compromiso con su desarrollo personal y profesional. Al inicio de
cada curso, se distribuirán las normas y
reglamentos. Se espera que no sólo los
lea, sino que también les demuestre a
sus compañeros de curso el respeto que
las normas y reglamentos merecen al
cumplirlos.
POLÍTICA DE ASISTENCIA
Se requiere una asistencia mínima del
80%. Desafortunadamente, es posible
que las clases para lograr aptitudes
académicas y de computación que no
cuenten con una asistencia regular de, al
menos, ocho estudiantes se cierren o se
combinen. Haremos todo lo posible por
acomodar a todos los estudiantes en otra
sección. Tenga en cuenta que en ciertas
circunstancias, su instructor puede asignar tareas de recuperación para mejorar
su tasa de asistencia.
