School might be out for summer, but members can keep the learning going with two benefit programs; free language classes and a scholarship opportunity for UFCW Minority Coalition members.
The UFCW’s Free Foreign Language Program, which offers UFCW members the ability to learn over 70 languages for free online, opened for registration on June 18. These self-paced classes build on four conversational skills necessary to fully learn a new language: vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and culture.
Spots will be available to UFCW members on a first-come, first-served basis. You can access the application form here. Graphics to promote this program to members can be found here.
