The OPSEU/SEFPO Provincial Young Workers Committee (PYC) invites you to submit your application for the 2022 Young Workers Conference! It will take place from August 12-14 at the Courtyard by Marriott in downtown Toronto.
In addition to welcoming previous conference participants, we would like to extend a special invitation to those who have not attended in the past. We welcome all members who identify as young workers, 35 and under.
We look forward to meeting you! “Be Seen, Be Heard, Be Louder: We are the RIGHT NOW” will celebrate today’s young workers and leaders in the labour movement. Many are local presidents and influential members of their communities.
This conference will focus on developing leadership skills that are meant to last a lifetime. Guest speakers will inspire but will also challenge young workers to examine their own strengths and weaknesses especially when it comes to setting their own professional and personal goals.
Workshops and related activities will focus on self-advocacy, public speaking and political action. Event participants will be selected by the PYC with assistance from the Equity Unit. The selection process will try to achieve a diverse group of attendees, representative of the young workers within our membership.
All applicants will be contacted in June and will be advised of the status of their application. Do not miss this opportunity to network, learn, share experiences and have some fun.
Please submit your application no later than end of day on May 29, 2022. You can apply directly by logging onto OPSEU/SEFPO’s member portal at: https://members.opseu.org/. Only online applicationswill be accepted for this event.
We will be applying the criteria as set out in questions 1-10 of the application form. Incomplete applications will not be considered. For any additional requirements, please contact the Equity Unit directly at youngworkersconference@opseu.org
In solidarity,
Provincial Young Workers Committee (PYC)
