If an employee is working in a clerical title (ASU), is he/she eligible to take a Partnership course specifically tailored for an operations title (OSU) (e.g., Carpentry Basics)?
Yes. However, courses are specifically designed around the job-related responsibilities of CSEA-represented NYS employees working in a specific bargaining unit. Employees and their supervisors should carefully read the course descriptions. [Return to Questions] The Partnership’s web site and publications say that Partnership courses are for the exclusive benefit of CSEA-represented NYS employees. Can co-workers or supervisors who are not represented by CSEA attend a Partnership course? Yes. Under certain conditions, employees not represented by CSEA are eligible to attend Partnership courses. For example, since all Labor-Management Services courses are specifically designed for both labor and management representatives, non-CSEA management representatives (e.g., M/C, PEF, and NYSCOPBA) are eligible to attend. Additionally, Management/Confidential (M/C) employees working in a transition title supported by the Partnership are eligible to attend Clerical and Secretarial courses. For works
