What type of training can members of the IBEW gain through the COMET Program?

The COMET Program, which stands for the "Comprehensive Organized Membership Education and Training" program, is designed to provide members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) with education specifically focused on building effective union membership and enhancing organized strategies. This emphasizes skills that are essential for understanding how to mobilize members, engage in organizing campaigns, and develop strategies to strengthen union solidarity.

Through this training, participants can learn about effective communication and outreach methods necessary for increasing membership and participation within the union. The knowledge and skills gained from this program are tailored to help members address contemporary challenges faced by unions and their members, thus contributing significantly to their effectiveness in organizing efforts. This rigorous focus differentiates the program from training that would only cover specific technical skills, general organizational knowledge, or purely administrative skills.
