Training & Education

SWEB Training

Training on the SWEB system is generally provided in a web conference format. These sessions--customarily two sessions over two consecutive weeks--are designed to provide a basic understanding of how to use most aspects of the system.

The primary focus to date has been on helping admins move from the v2 system to the v3 system on SWEB, although because the number of Locals left to migrate is so small, other curricula are currently being considered. Watch this site for announcements of new training opportunities or sign up for training.

Training System Requirements

We will be using GoToMeeting for the web conference. This is a tool that will allow you to see what the trainer is doing on their desktop while conversing over the phone.  We like to ask that ALL participants prepare their systems for participation in the webinar portion of the training BEFORE the session starts.

If you are scheduled to attend an upcoming training session, please make sure you follow these directions to prepare your system for the session:

• To get set up with GoToMeeting, you'll need to install a plug-in for your browser. Follow this link to download the plug-in directly from GoToMeeting.
  
• Precisely how to install this depends on what operating system and browser combination you are using. Please refer to the GoToMeeting documentation for full set up details.
  **You will require Adobe Acrobat to access the PDF instructions from GoToMeeting.
  
• You will need to have administrator privileges for your machine in order to properly install the GoToMeeting plug-ins.
  
• When you are prompted to accept the ActiveX installation of the GoToMeeting/Citrix software, please choose the option to "Install ActiveX Component...".
