UNISON has a long history of both providing and facilitating education and training for members. This provision has not just concentrated on providing the skills to support trade union work but has also focused on enabling working people to gain and improve their skills and qualifications and to learn for their own personal fulfilment.

UNISON aims to promote lifelong learning opportunities for those who have traditionally been excluded from learning and UNISON Union Learning Reps have an important role to play in this as part of active Branch Education Teams.

This programme is designed for UNISON members who are or who want to become UNISON Union Learning Reps (ULRs).

The course includes:

  • Understanding the role of a Union Learning Rep
  • Understanding the value of Lifelong Learning
  • Learning Surveys
  • Using Learning to organise
  • Planning and promoting learning activities
  • Working with employers to improve learning for members
