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.

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.
“The classes are important
because we learn to
communicate better at
our work locations.”
ELIGIBILITY & REGISTRATION
How to Register
COURSE/QUICK COURSE PREREQUISITES
Some Courses and Quick Courses
require you to complete a prerequisite—
a preparatory Course—before you enroll.
Some Courses require minimum reading

can be established by presenting a High
School Diploma, or its equivalent from an
English-speaking country, or by passing
a standardized test at registration.
These prerequisites are noted above
each Course description.
EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSINGS
To inquire about the possible cancellation of classes in the event of a weather
emergency or other hazardous conditions,
call 212-388-3701 for Courses in Manhattan. For other locations contact your Site
Manager; see pages 8-11.
NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY
The 32BJ Training Fund does not
discriminate on the basis of race,
color, age, gender, sexual orientation,
national origin, ethnicity, or religion in
the administration of its educational
or admission policies.

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.
