- Teachers must register through their employer (Regional Centre for Education, CSAP, or APSEA) and receive approval from their employer to attend a Retirement Seminar. The employer is responsible for advising teachers of their approval to attend a Retirement Seminar, which Retirement Seminar they have been approved to attend, and the appropriate absence code to use.
Retirement Seminar Handouts
Beginning in the 2023-2024 school year, members attending a Retirement Seminar receive a binder with all handouts for the year of the Seminar. The handouts for the NSTU, RTO, and Teachers Plus Credit Union presentations are updated at least annually and available below if you wish to update your binder. The presentations for the Wills and Estate Planning session vary by location and are not available electronically.
