Lifelong Learning for USW Members
“Experience has shown that worker growth and development are stunted when programs are mandated from above, but flourish in an atmosphere of voluntary participation in self-designed and self-directed training and education.” USW/Company Contract Language

Local Focus
Each Career Development program is locally governed by a committee composed of members of the Local Union and representatives of the participating company.

News from the Field
The Thrill at Danville
Kathy Patterson calls herself the poster child for ICD.
“I was on salary at (USW) Goodyear for 11 years in the batch lab and my job got outsourced,” Patterson recalled. “I didn’t finish (college) – I loved my job – but I didn’t have any education to find another position.”
She was fortunate enough to land a position with the USW/Goodyear-Danville Career Development Program and has been preaching its benefits since.
Steelworker ... and college graduate
Kewan McCully can’t help but smile. It’s hard not to these days.
The USW Local 1014 member and furnace assistant in the QBOP has a lot to be happy about: his family, his job, and most recently, his college degree.
“I couldn’t have done it without funds from the ICD program,” McCully said. “The funds allowed me to finish college and earn my bachelor’s degree in Organizational Management.”
