What is ICD?
We have a wide range of class to meet any interest or skill level. Instruction ranges from basic skills, such as GED preparation or financial investing, to graduate-level college courses. Steelworkers can also take a variety of classes that teach technical skills, such as plumbing, electrical wiring or small engine repair, and a wide array of computer classes are available as well.
The emphasis is on teaching (portable) skills Steelworkers can use to enhance their existing careers or take with them beyond their positions in the plant.
Approximately 80% of the courses are “Customized, ” meaning that instructors are hired to design classes specifically for Steelworkers. Most of these classes are taught at our Learning Center located at the local Union Hall, and are scheduled two days out of the week on your days to allow you to be able to attend.
Steelworkers have access to other courses available through a tuition assistance program which provides up to $2500 annually for tuition, books and fees at any accredited institution.
