A Message From The Educational Director
In my last article, I mentioned there would be changes to the educational opportunities Boeing provides for their employees. Well, that time has come, and it will affect every union member seeking higher education. Although there are many changes, I will just list a few I think you will need to get started. Theses changes went into affect on January 1, 2010. First, in order to be Eligible to participate in the Learning Together Program (LTP) one year of employment with The Boeing Company is required. Second, you can not take courses that are not in the Boeing Strategic Education Program. (SEP) All course, majors, and skill training must be under the (SEP) umbrella. Third, there are limits on the amount available per year for higher education and skill training. It is as follows. For associate and or bachelor’s degree we are allowed 7,500 per year, and for the master degree program it is 15,000.00 per year. For skill training such as; composite and sheet mental training it is 5,000.00 per year. Despite all the changes made to the LTP program it still gives us a great opportunity to achieve higher learning. On the next page is a copy of the latest skill training programs available to us. If you have any questions about the programs on the Learning Together Program website please feel free to contact me Gary Daniels at work (610-591-6354) cell (610-529-5094).
