ATU Online Training Videos
We are pleased to launch the first generation of ATU Online Training Videos to help our Local leaders and members to learn new strategies to empower members to get involved, make our locals stronger, and build a more powerful ATU for the battles ahead. This is part of ATU's ongoing effort to train as many members as possible.
The videos are available below by clicking on the categories below. We encourage you to watch the videos and share this link to the ATU Online Training Videos with your fellow members.
We also would like to get feedback on these videos and have set up links to short online surveys for each video that can be found in the description of each video.
We hope you find these videos useful. If you have any questions please contact officeofthepresident@atu.org.
