    Job Training That Works, and It's Free: "Ms. Zou is happy that the course is free. It is conducted by the Consortium for Worker Education, a union-affiliated organization that trains 110,000 people a year, making it the city's largest job-training group.

    Even though Ms. Zou is not a union member, she can take the course because the consortium, having shown its success in training unionized workers ranging from nurse's aides to carpenters, has been given government and foundation contracts to train thousands of nonunion members as well."
