Getting into college can be stressful and expensive for students and their families. Now a new discount program from Union Plus enables union members and their children to afford the preparation needed to get an edge on college admissions.
Union Plus has joined with The Princeton Review to provide union members and their families “college readiness educational services” to prepare college-bound students for the SAT and ACT tests and graduate school hopefuls for law, medical, business and other exams.
With the new Union Plus college test preparation discount, union members can save 15 percent to 60 percent on college preparation classes provided by The Princeton Review. The courses will be delivered by The Princeton Review’s instructors and available to students via in-person or LiveOnline classes as well as individually self-paced online courses.

The National Labor College (NLC) today announced plans to enhance its online education service to bring high-quality degree programs to union members and their families.
Tentatively named the College for Working Families, the program will combine the advantages of online learning with the resources of unions to provide programs specifically suited to the needs and interests of union members. Working adults will be able to build on their prior training and experience through the program.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, who chairs the National Labor College Board of Trustees, also announced the selection of The Princeton Review Inc. and its subsidiary, Penn Foster Education Group, as the college’s partners to create the College for Working Families.
