The Labor Education Service (LES) is an outreach program of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Human Resources and Labor Studies. It was created to provide training, applied research services and technical assistance to Minnesota workers and their organizations. LES offers a variety of non-credit courses and seminars at both campus and off-campus locations, scheduled and customized to meet the needs of your organization. LES staff travel across the state and region to provide training, video production, research and other services, at dates, times and locations that are convenient for your union and its members. We are currently working on classes in other languages to meet your non-English speaking membership needs. |
