How
to Join SCETT Fund
The
Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA) and service contract
employers may participate in the Service Contract Education and Training
Trust Fund by writing a training and education clause into their collective
bargaining agreement and establishing a rate per hour contribution as
a part of the benefits package. The signed collective bargaining agreement
must include the negotiated wage rates and fringe benefits and be delivered
to the contracting agency prior to the performance of the contract.
Before
any contributions can be received by the SCETT Fund, a Participant Agreement
must be executed between the SCETT Fund and the Employer. The Participation
Agreement must submit for each contract site a yearly training plan and
budget to the SCETT Fund Board of Trustees for approval. The training plan
summarizes type of instructions to be conducted and subject matter and
frequency. The training budget is a projection of the Employer's contributions
and an estimate of the amount of training reimbursement.
The
SCETT Fund will reimburse the Employer a percentage of the contributions on
receipt of validated training for its employees. All training should be
documented and certified by the participants, the instructor, and the
Employer for consideration by the SCETT Fund.

TRAINING CATEGORIES ARE:
- ON-THE-JOB
TRAINING (OJT)
This type of training takes place on the job, and uses actual hands-on
situations that allow the employees to directly relate to their assignment.
OJT is a cost-effective training method that can be done with minimal
interruption in carrying out a contract.
- CLASSROOM
Trainees do actual work in this type of training as well, but they
do it in a classroom setting with a group of employees. Classroom training
can include video tape presentations with follow-up discussions, instructions
relating to the work assignments, and visual aids or demonstrations
on topics such as use and care of work equipment, government regulations,
safety and health.
- THIRD
PARTY
Third-party training is conducted by individuals outside the service
contract industry. Presentations may cover topics such as human relations,
continuing education, or personal skills development that would benefit
the employee or the industry.
