About Open Learning Course program at the National Labor College



The National Labor College has launched a new cutting-edge union education tool called the Open Learning Course (OLC) program. The OLC is offered free and is a self-directed, web-based learning activity that offers opportunities for union members, leaders, activists and staff to study new topics of interests and improve their current understanding of the labor movement.

The OLC creates an open classroom for all and is bound only by the limits of the Internet, thus expanding the reach of these courses across the nation and the globe. The OLC combines the best available knowledge on a given subject in a short, concise format free and accessible to all. For example, an OLC course on Images of Labor in Art takes only about an hour to complete and will offer students a quick introduction, or refresher in this key area of study just by visiting our website. And for those wishing to learn more, the NLC offers more extensive courses online, on campus and partially online for those wishing to go further.

The Open Learning Course program, when fully developed, may be the one of most exciting and innovative education ventures for the 21st century making useful knowledge instantly available to the labor community and further strengthening the labor movement in a modern, global economy. Thank you for visiting. To proceed select a course from the course menu.
