An international training network offering unlimited opportunity.

LIUNA Training strives to provide the highest quality hands–on and classroom training possible. Our training is provided through a network of 70 affiliated LIUNA training centers to deliver a comprehensive curricula that adheres to strict standards across the country and in Canada. Each year, more than 140,000 workers attend our training in building construction; heavy and highway construction; construction supervision; environmental remediation, demolition, rehabilitation and restoration.

Each training center has a dedicated area for hands–on training particular to the needs of the courses they are teaching and their specialty. For instance, a site training Hazardous Waste workers would have the equipment and supplies needed for hands–on training, including breathing air compressor, cascade system and filling station, self–contained breathing units, Level A, B, and C training suits, air monitors, explosive gas indicators, and confined space retrieval tri–pod. These training areas are designed to simulate an actual hazardous waste remediation site and include a confined space; pond, lagoon, or other water sampling area; buried drum probing area; debris segregation and staging area; over–pack area; and personnel and equipment decontamination area.

Similarly, a Center teaching tunneling techniques or bridge work would have the space and equipment needed for hands–on practical training in real conditions. While each center has their specialty, almost all offer concrete, asphalt, and mason tending facilities.

In addition, each training center has classroom, dining, and administrative space. The facilities have built–in residential space, nearby lodging accommodations, or serve a commuting area where sleeping accommodations will not be required. All of the training facilities are fully equipped with classroom teaching equipment including smart boards, computers, video and document projectors, LCD projectors, and reference libraries.
