Eligibility & Registration

About Us
Eligibility
The 32BJ Training Fund is a joint
labor-management partnership that offers
training to eligible participants at no
cost. The fund is supported by contributions negotiated between 32BJ SEIU and
participating employers. Our mission is
to train every participant to grow to the
next level. We want to continually raise
the standards of our industry by providing
32BJ members with the tools they need
to meet the challenges of a changing
industry.
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.
At the 32BJ Training Fund everything we do
supports that one goal of making it possible for our members to get the education,
training, and skills they need to grow in the
quickly changing property services industry.
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.

ON-SITE CLASSES
If you, a management company, or

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. Ask your
instructor to assign make-up work to
improve your attendance rate.
“I enjoy taking classes at
the 32BJ Training Fund
and am looking to become a
Superintendent someday.”
ELIGIBILITY & REGISTRATION

English-speaking country, or by passing
a standardized test at registration.
These prerequisites are noted above
each Course description.

discriminate on the basis of race,

Career Tracks
Take Your Career
to the Next Level.
The 32BJ Training Program has
10 Career Tracks. Each one is
designed to provide the essential steps and skills needed to
progress to the next level in your
career. Career Tracks are designed
to give students a well-rounded,
practical and theoretical knowledge of their field.
Members who have completed a
Career Track at the 32BJ Training
Fund will be better suited to move
into positions of increased
responsibility.
While we offer no formal job
placement or hiring services we
have found that experience gained
at the 32BJ Training Fund can
significantly improve a member’s
likelihood of advancement in the
Building Services field.
For suggestions on how to pursue
a Career Track see our website
or call 212-388-3150.

Green
Buildings
Green buildings are a recent
trend in the building industry. Many building owners
and operators want their
buildings to earn a Green
certification so they are
recognized as buildings
that are efficiently run and
offer a better quality of life
for residents. In turn, these
owners and operators want
to hire building staff who
understand Green building
concepts, strategies and
technology.
32BJ Training has developed a series
of courses that teach the best practices
for sustainable operation and maintenance (O&M). Our courses offer Green
training for residential multifamily buildings and commercial buildings and the
opportunity to earn industry recognized
certificates. We also offer courses on the
LEED rating system used by high performance buildings and the opportunity
to earn LEED Professional certifications.
To see the recommended training path,
view the Career Track at the front of
this catalog.
If you have any questions or want
to learn more about Green Building
Training, look at the 32BJ Training

ZASADY FREKWENCJI
Wymagana jest przynajmniej 80 procentowa
frekwencja. Na zajęciach typu akademickiego
oraz lekcjach posługiwania się komputerem
wymagana jest regularna obecność przynajmniej ośmiu studentów–w przeciwnym
razie zajęcia te mogą zostać zlikwidowane
lub połączone z innymi. W takim przypadku
dołożymy wszelkich starań, by ulokować
wszystkich studentów w innej grupie. Uwaga!
W pewnych okolicznościach instruktor
może przydzielić danym studentom zadania
uzupełniające w celu poprawy ich wskaźnika
frekwencji.

kursu przygotowawczego–zanim będziecie
się Państwo mogli na nie zapisać. Niektóre
kursy wymagają podstawowych umiejętności
z zakresu czytania i matematyki. Opanowanie
tych umiejętności można ustalić przez okazanie dyplomu ukończenia liceum lub jego
równoważnika z angielsko-języcznego kraju
lub zdając standaryzowany egzamin przy
rejestracji. Te wymogi zasadnicze podane
zostały powyżej przy opisie kursów.

Përmbushja e kushteve për Fondin e

Shërbimet e Anëtarëve në 800-551–32BJ
(3225), nga e hëna deri të premten,
8 paradite–5 pasdite.
Përmbushja juaj e kushteve varet nga
marrëveshja e veçantë e arritur nga diskutime kolektive, ose nga marrëveshja e
marrjes pjesë që përfshin punësimin tuaj.
Në përgjithësi, periudha pritëse për trajnimin është 90 ditë, përveçse kur thuhet
ndryshe në marrëveshjen e veçantë të
arritur nga diskutimet kolektive, ose në
marrëveshjen e marrjes pjesë.
Nëse nuk i përmbushni kushtet dhe jeni
pa punë për më shumë se 91 ditë, do t’ju
kërkohet të përfundoni periudhën pritëse
përsëri. Nëse po ndiqni një klasë gjatë
kohës që nuk i përmbushni më kushtet,
do të lejoheni që ta përfundoni klasën për
atë tremestër.
KLASAT NË VENDIN E PUNËS
Nëse ju, një kompani drejtimi, ose pronari
i një ndërtese keni 10 ose më shumë
pjesëmarrës të interesuar në ndjekjen e
një klase, si dhe keni hapësirën e nevojshme, Fondi i Trajnimit 32BJ mund t’i

shumë punëtorë që zotohen për zhvillimin e tyre personal dhe profesional.
Në fillim të çdo Kursi shpërndahen

që jo vetëm t’i lexoni “Rregullat dhe

RREGULLORJA E FREKUENTIMIT
Frekuentimi minimal prej 80 përqind
është i detyrueshëm. Për fat të keq, klasat mësimore dhe kompjuterike që nuk
kanë frekuentim të vazhdueshëm me të
paktën tetë nxënës, mund të mbyllen ose
të bashkohen. Ne do të bëjmë çdo gjë që
kemi mundësi për t’i rregulluar nxënësit
në një seksion tjetër. Vini re se në rrethana të caktuara, instruktori juaj mund
t’ju japë që të mbaroni detyrat e prapambetura, në mënyrë që t’ju përmirësohet
përqindja e frekuentimit tuaj.
KUSHTET PARAPRAKE TË
KURSIT/KURSIT TË SHPEJTË
Disa kurse dhe kurse të shpejta ju
kërkojnë që të plotësoni një kurs të
detyrueshëm–përgatitor–para se të
regjistroheni. Disa kurse kërkojnë aftësi
minimale leximi dhe matematike. Këto
aftësi mund të fitohen me anë të marrjes
së një diplome të shkollës së mesme,
ose diplomës ekuivalente të shkollës
së mesme në një vend ku flitet anglisht,
ose duke kaluar testin e standardizuar
që bëhet gjatë regjistrimit. Këto kushte
paraprake do të jenë të shënuara sipër
përshkrimit të kursit.
MBYLLJET URGJENTE TË SHKOLLËS
Për të marrë vesh rreth anulimit të
mundshëm të klasave në rastin e një
urgjence, si rezultat i keqësimit të motit
ose kushteve të tjera të rrezikshme,
