Education Department

Local 237's Education Department/Education Fund provides a wide variety of education programs for Citywide and Housing Division members of Local 237. The Department strives to equip our members with the skills they need to meet the challenges of the ever-changing and increasingly technologically-advanced workplace. These skills will qualify members for promotional titles and new job opportunities.

The Department is constantly working to find new education opportunities for members that result in public certification of skills and abilities. In addition, the Department has broadened its scope to include educational activities that enable members to advance their careers even beyond those titles represented by Local 237. We have been instrumental in creating sensitive and relevant adult college degree programs for our members with several divisions of the City University of New York. These include an evening college B.A. program through the City College of New York and an M.A. program in Public Administration through Brooklyn College, geared to careers in New York City government.

The Education Department provides college counseling for degree selections, but does not provide tuition assistance for courses members may take.
