The Scheinman Institute on Conflict Resolution is the world’s preeminent institute focused on workplace conflict resolution.
Watch how the Scheinman Institute addresses the critical workplace conflict resolution challenges of our time through its research, teaching, training and outreach.
A collaboration with the American Arbitration Association (AAA), NCRS will serve the labor-management community with a broad national focus by providing labor-management training, dispute resolution, collective-bargaining mediation and relationship-building services.
Previously with Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS), Javier Ramirez has joined ILR’s Scheinman Institute to help lead the new service as its executive manager.
We offer two unique training opportunities designed to meet this demand:
- Foundations of Labor Arbitration Course
- Labor Arbitrator Development Program – Cohort Four
Together, these programs provide emergent arbitrators with the essential training, practical skills, personalized mentoring, and hands-on experience needed to build a successful career in labor arbitration.
