Education Enrichment Courses (EEC)
Educational Enrichment Courses (EEC) pique a member’s interest in learning and allow for career and program of study exploration, and professional development. Commonly called continuing education, lifelong learning or professional development courses, they normally do not grant college credit but may offer Continuing Education Units (CEU’s).
FUNDING
Eligible UAW-Ford employees may use $1500 of their $4000 PDA funds each year for these courses. The courses generally must be taken through accredited institutions (community or technical colleges or universities).
Many local community or technical colleges offer on-campus or online classes through their Continuing Education or Professional Development departments. Members generally may find a listing of these courses on the school’s website.
