Free online college courses offered to PS&T
If you are a state PS&T employee, you can now take free online continuing education courses.
PEF and the Governor’s Office of Employees Relations (GOER), through the NYS/PEF Joint Professional Development Committee (PDC), have partnered with Binghamton University to offer continuing education online courses free of charge to state employees in the PS&T Unit and at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. These courses are funded by the Public Service Training Program under Article 15.3 of the PS&T contract.
The online courses were chosen to meet a wide variety of professional development needs and each provides Binghamton University continuing education units (CEUs). You can choose any courses that interest you, whether they are related to your job, or not. However, release time from your work is not available for this program.
Many of the Binghamton online courses are online versions of courses in which PEF members currently enroll, pay the tuition and are reimbursed for up to $600 tuition through the Voucher Alternative (VALT) Program.
Registration forms and additional information are available online at
ceo.binghamton.edu/pstp (do not use www) or can be accessed through the PEF Web site at
www.pef.org on the Professional Development page or go to the GOER Web site at
www.goer.state.ny.us/train/pst/index.html, and click on PSTP Online Courses.
If you have any questions regarding these courses, contact PEF Director of Education and Human Resources Cliff Merchant, at 800 342-4306, ext. 328 or e-mail him at
