Description

HEU's Young Workers’ Conference aims to empower young workers to build skills, connections, and knowledge to take active roles in our union and in the labour movement.

  • how HEU can support young workers to build skills and be involved in their local and workplace
  • action plans to mobilize young workers on issues affecting them, and to take leadership in their locals and within HEU
  • collaborating with peers, leaders and mentors to build an inclusive and strong labour movement
