ElegibilidadLos detalles completos de la elegibilidad para participar en el 32BJ Training Fund se encuentran en la Descripción abreviada del plan (Summary Plan Description, SPD) dis-ponible en línea en training.32bjfunds.com, o si llama al Centro de servicios para afiliados al 800-551-32BJ (3225), de lunes a viernes, de 8 a. m. a 5 p. m. Su elegibilidad depende del acuerdo colectivo de trabajo específico o del acuerdo de participación que cubre su empleo.

Generalmente, el periodo de espera es de 90 días, a menos que se especifique otra cosa en su acuerdo colectivo de trabajo o acuerdo de participación.

Si pierde su elegibilidad y permanece fuera del trabajo durante más de 91 días, es posible que deba completar el periodo de espera nuevamente. Si está tomando clases y pierde su elegibilidad, se le permitirá completar sus clases durante ese trimestre. Si está partici-pando en un curso de un año de duración y pierde la elegibilidad durante el segundo tri-mestre, puede completar el tercer trimestre de ese curso.

Sin embargo, una vez que pierde la elegibili-dad, no puede inscribirse en ningún curso nuevo.

en su edificio. Para obtener más detalles, llame al 212-388-2124.

CREACIÓN DE UN ENTORNO PARA EL APRENDIZAJE

Los participantes que toman cursos a través del 32BJ Training Fund son personas muy trabajadoras que demuestran un gran com-promiso con su desarrollo personal y profe-sional. Al inicio de cada curso, se distribuyen las normas y reglamentos. Se espera que no sólo lea las normas y reglamentos, sino que también, mediante su cumplimiento, les demuestre a sus compañeros de curso el respeto que éstos merecen.

POLÍTICA DE ASISTENCIA

Se requiere una asistencia mínima del 80%. Desafortunadamente, es posible que las clases de aptitudes académicas y de com-putación que no cuenten con una asistencia regular de, al menos, ocho estudiantes se cierren o se combinen. Haremos todo lo posible por acomodar a todos los estudiantes en otra sección. Pídale a su instructor que le asigne tareas de recuperación para mejorar su tasa de asistencia.

REQUISITOS PREVIOS PARA EL CURSO/CURSO RÁPIDO

Algunos cursos y cursos rápidos requieren que finalice un curso preparatorio como req-uisito previo antes de inscribirse. Algunos cursos requieren habilidades mínimas de lectura y matemáticas.

Es posible establecer el dominio de estas habilidades presentando un diploma de estudios secundarios, o su equivalente de un país de habla inglesa, o mediante un examen estandarizado que se administra al momento de inscribirse.

Estos requisitos previos se detallan antes de la descripción de cada curso.

CIERRES DEL ESTABLECIMIENTO POR EMERGENCIAS

Para informarse sobre la posible cancelación de clases en caso de una emergencia meteo-rológica o condiciones peligrosas, póngase en contacto con su administrador del sitio.

AVISO DE POLÍTICA NO DISCRIMINATORIA

El 32BJ Training Fund no discrimina por motivos de raza, color, edad, sexo, ori-entación sexual, origen nacional, etnia ni religión en la administración de sus políticas educativas o de admisión.

EXAMEN DISPONIBLE

El 32BJ Training Fund permite a los afiliados realizar un examen para algunos cursos con requisitos previos, donde esté disponible. Esto se indica antes de las descripciones de cada curso. Inscripción
