'Nett' Gains for CWA Members

The National Coalition for Telecommunications Education and Learning is a partnership between leading telecommunications employers and the CWA and IBEW. It allows workers to take online courses leading to a two-year associate college degree in telecommunications.

The CWA/nett Academy provides online training and certification -- including the only online Cisco certification and training program -- in combination with hands-on activities directed by trained CWA proctors in CWA union halls. Broadband would allow streaming audio-visual material and real-time two-way conversations among students and faculty.
