The ULDP is delivered once every three years in each of the 7 PSAC Regions. Francophones from the NCR and Atlantic Regions will join the Quebec Region while Anglophones from the Quebec Region will join the NCR Region.  The program has six mandatory steps which include three face-to-face gatherings and three remote steps.

Worried you missed your chance to improve your union leadership skills? Well, we have extended the deadline to register for our Union Leadership Development Program!

The ULDP provides leaders at PSAC with training, tools and shared space to develop their individual and collective capacity to transform PSAC into a stronger, more effective, inclusive, better-organized, membership-based union.

This program provides training for both formal union leaders in elected positions as well as informal union leaders who are respected in the workplace. Ideal candidates for the ULDP are leaders who demonstrate that they are in a position to work with others in our union and make meaningful change, and those who have the respect and trust of members.

The PSAC’s Union Leadership Development Program (ULDP) is an advanced, year-long leadership course for members who are ready to expand their leadership roles within the union.

The ULDP includes three five-day in-person trainings; an online course; and independent reading and reflection. Throughout the program, participants are also expected to plan and complete a collaborative leadership project on an issue of importance to them in their local, workplace or community.

For more than 35 years, the ULDP has been recognized as among the best comprehensive union leadership training programs in Canada. Many current national and regional PSAC leaders are graduates of the ULDP and can attest to the learning opportunities the program provides.

PSAC is committed to ensuring that participants in the ULDP represent the diversity of our union membership.  We encourage applications from members who are Indigenous, racially visible members, members with disabilities, women, 2SLGBTQIA+ members and members under the age of 36.
