Induction Training Days for LOC/ROC Officers
Our Induction Training Days provide new officers with comprehensive information about the national, regional and local landscape in optics in addition to guidance on roles and responsibilities, governance and negotiations. This day is also popular with experienced officers looking to update their committee on the work of LOCSU and the Optical Confederation as well as networking with colleagues from other regions.
