Employee Assistance Classes
Employee Assistance Professional (EAP) classes are held at our tranquil William W. Winpisinger Education & Technology Center in Southern Maryland. At the classes, participants learn how to assist workers and their families through prevention, intervention, assessment, directed care and follow-up services. Community initiatives are promoted that improve the lives of workers and their families.
The IAM is in discussions with the National Labor College (NLC) regarding the development of a degree program for Machinists who desire a career in this field. EAP-I and EAP-II have been assessed for accreditation through the NLC and are now worth three semester credits each at the college or university level. Similarly, the EAP-III program will be submitted for assessment for four semester hours of credit.
An EAP-IV program is in the final stages of planning and will enable a successful participant to achieve certification as an EAP specialist. The educational curriculum will be fully recognized at the college level, workplaces, the employee assistance community and throughout the IAM.

Community Services Classes
In 2009, a group of brothers and sisters gathered at the William W. Winpisinger Education and Technology Center (W3) to collaborate regarding community service and unemployment issues. Using their expertise, a curriculum was developed to share with our membership.
Classes for 2012 will be held from February 12-17 and again from December 16-21. Click on the following links for more information:
