ILSR Summer Schools and Conferences
WVU Extension Service Institute for Labor Studies and Research

Residential Programs and Conferences

ILSR’s residential programs and conferences not only provide students with an opportunity to develop skills useful to their unions, but they also allow students to meet and work with others in the labor movement.

While most of the ILSR summer schools are designed to reach West Virginia workers, students from around the nation attend classes.

ILSR works closely with unions to develop programs that best suit their needs. The cost of a program depends primarily on length and location. We work with unions to develop programs ranging from one-day conferences to weeklong sessions. The forum may be held on the WVU campus or at a site of your choosing.
