Amy Gaylord will co-present "Academy I: The Foundation of Labor Relations," which is the first course of The National PELRA Labor Relations Certification Program (CLRP) Virtual Academy. The program provides participants with the resources to achieve a better understanding of the basic principles and practices of labor relations. The program includes workshops and interactive exercises so participants can sharpen their knowledge of "The Duty to Bargain," "Good Faith Bargaining," "The Scope of Bargaining," "The Profile of an Excellent Negotiator," and writing important contract clauses. Participants will be given tools to assist them in preparing and organizing for bargaining and also enforcing and administering the resulting collective bargaining agreement. 

CLRP is an innovative certificate designed specifically for public sector labor relations and human resources professionals who are new to the field as well as for the experienced practitioner seeking additional training.
