Renewed, Redesigned and Ready for Today’s Challenges

The Labour College of Canada (LCC) is a union-made education program for active union members, including today’s and tomorrow’s union leaders. The new LCC Certificate Program is more accessible, affordable, and relevant than ever before.

First offered over 50 years ago, today’s LCC delivers in-depth courses on issues related to work and the rights of workers in Canada. Graduates of the LCC are equipped to take leadership roles in their union, their labour council and the wider labour movement, for the benefit of all workers.
