August 8, 2025 — Article 15 of the PS&T contract allocates money to PEF members for training courses and grants, as well as reimbursement for workshops and license exam fees. The PEF/State Joint Professional Development Committee (PDC) works to assess the professional development and training needs of PEF members and establishes training that improves the skills and knowledge needed for job performance. The PEF Education & Training Department recently produced this summary of the primary Article 15 program benefits. PEF posts all Public Service Workshop Program announcements and registration links on the union website as they are made available.
