Eligibility
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.
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.
Note in certain circumstances your instructor
can assign make-up work to improve your
attendance rate.
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 and math skills.
Mastery of these skills 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
the 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 203-721-5732.
NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY

sexual orientation, national origin, ethnicity,
or religion in the administration of its
educational or admission policies.
TEST OUT AVAILABLE
