Various unions in NSW, VIC, WA and possibly QLD

The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) is offering an amazing opportunity to work for the Australian Union Movement, whilst completing a comprehensive training program.

We are seeking people who are committed to pursuing the rights of all working Australians, whether young or old, male or female, or from a culturally or linguistically diverse background.

If you answer YES to the following questions, make sure you apply:

** Do you want to make a real difference to workers and their rights?

** Are you a strong supporter of social justice in Australia?

** Do you have the ability to motivate and inspire others to stand up for themselves?

** Are you a good listener?

** Do you have good written and oral communication skills?

The ACTU Organising Works Program encompasses on-the-job training with an Australian Union, and 10 months of formal ACTU training to achieve the Certificate IV in Unionism and Industrial Relations.

The formal program will commence in February / March 2012.

Applicants should demonstrate their commitment to union values and their ability to organise others to stand up for their rights, and describe how they have organised events, activities or others in pursuit of social justice goals.

All applicants must submit the OW 2012 Participant Application Form.

The Application and further information about Organising Works is available from www.actu.org.au/UnionEducation/OrganisingWorksProgram/default.aspx

Applications close Friday 4th November 2011. Interviews will be held the fortnight commencing 14th November 2011.
