Participatory Councils: Foundation for Service Councils

RESULT

  • Participants in this training learn how they can influence decision-making at the university in service councils.
  • The training briefly deals with the general principles of employee participation in higher education, and then focuses on the special role of service councils.
  • We discuss the organizational structure of the university and the position of the service councils within it.
  • We will also discuss the specific rules that apply to service councils. Participants are asked to submit cases and questions in advance, so that their own situation can be adressed in detail.
  • As a result of this training, you will have a solid basic knowledge of the rights and duties of service councils, as well as important regulations and procedures. This will help you contribute to a better UT.
  • Please Note: the course partly overlaps with the basic course on employee participation, but goes further in depth, specifically on subjects that are relevant to members of service councils.
