The AFL-CIO Center for Strategic Research and Cornell University sponsor an annual training on strategic corporate research. Held each June in Ithaca, the one-week course has served as a great door opener for students of all ages who are interested in working as strategic researchers in the labor movement. Since the program’s inception in 2001, scores of participants have landed research jobs at a variety of unions around the country.
The course (credit or non-credit) is designed for undergrad and grad students who are interested in working as union researchers and campaigners. The registration deadline is May 17. Scholarships are available if taking the course for credit.
