We had a great group of students and coaches, for our ACB mock collective bargaining conference. Many thanks to all that made this event possible. The students were totally engaged in the curriculum. We have multiple teams that represented, both labor and management during contract negotiations.

Huge shortages loom in the skilled trades, which require less — and cheaper — training. Should that make students rethink the four-year degree?

As California budgets millions to rebrand long-disparaged vocational education, there are an estimated 30 million jobs in the U.S. that pay at least $55,000 per year and don’t require a bachelor’s degree.

New! Labor-Management Relations Certificate to start January 9th

Take advantage of early bird discounts!
The St. Ambrose University Center for Professional Development and the Quad City Area Labor-Management Council (QCALM) have teamed to introduce a certificate program in interest-based bargaining that can help local companies and labor groups save time, reduce grievances and eliminate the need for arbitration in the course of contract negotiations.
The Labor-Management Relations Certificate program will teach conflict resolution skills, team-building concepts and the elements of self-reflection and self-understanding that promote sound decision-making. In addition, the certificate program will provide hands-on experience in contract negotiation, grievance handling and arbitration, taught by professionals with years of practical experience in contract negotiations and labor relations.
An early bird registration discount tuition fee of $1,935 is offered through Dec. 15. Starting Dec. 16, cost for the certificate program is $2,150.
This certificate program is designed for employees new to union leadership, rising in union management ranks, or who want to become union officials. It also will benefit leaders and managers in business, industry and government who work with a union labor force. Individuals can complete all six classes to earn a certificate. A company or union also can choose to have a different representative attend individual courses to build skills specific to their position.
