Local 1180 offers a host of programs and benefits for its members to enable them to advance their education and further their careers. In this section of the website, you will find information on all these programs and links to registration forms and claim forms to sign up and take full advantage of everything the union offers. The local's educational programs are funded and administered through the union's Education Fund and, like the union's other benefit funds, are paid for by contributions made by our employers. Those contributions are negotiated as part of the union's contracts with various employers. Local 1180's Education Committee is chaired by First Vice President Linda Jenkins.
