They are most appropriate for those who have recently become members or who are thinking of applying to join their co-op, but anyone involved in a worker co-op is welcome to participate. It will cover basic definitions, statistics on the movement, and the co-op principles as applied to worker co-ops, as well as governance and management principles in a worker co-op and information about CWCF.
