from The CUSW Spotlight Podcast · host Canadian Union of Skilled Workers

Telling ain't training!Good training should do more than fill a requirement. It should help people see where they fit, what they bring to the table, and how their strengths can support the work ahead.Carrie Walker-Boyd of TouchPoints Learning & Innovation has spent the last decade working alongside CUSW leadership and members, helping shape learning that reflects the realities of the skilled trades and the needs of the Union. In this conversation, she talks about knowing your learner and how curiosity and lifelong learning help people grow, adapt, and contribute in meaningful ways when they understand their own talents and the value they bring.What makes Carrie’s story especially interesting is that she became an entrepreneur almost by accident. From that path to her work today with TouchPoints Learning, she brings a practical view of how learning, leadership, and participation all help a Union grow. Whether you're just getting started or looking for a new way to get involved, this episode is a reminder that everyone has something to offer and that there are many ways to help build a stronger union.If you have any questions or would like to connect with Carrie, please email her directly at [email protected].  If you have a story to share, want to suggest a guest, or have a topic you'd like to hear on the CUSW Spotlight Podcast, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].  We’d love to hear from you!  🔻 Learn More About CUSW  Discover who we are and what we stand for: CUSW - Who We Are 🔻 Stay Informed  Get the latest news and updates: CUSW News 🔻 Get in Touch  Need to contact CUSW?
