About unionlearn
Unionlearn is here to help unions spread the lifelong learning message to even more members.
Our Mission
"Unionlearn will provide a strong and
supportive framework for unions to
maximise their members life chances by
providing access to high quality learning
and by strengthening the union voice
at work through the effective training of
representatives and professional officers."
Much has been achieved in the realm of trade union education and union learning over the past few years. But unions need to make a step change if they are to reach out to all the members who could benefit from study at the workplace or a local college or learning provider. That's why the TUC has established unionlearn to help unions develop and diversify their provision.
- Unionlearn aims to help unions to become learning organisations, with programmes for union reps and regional officers and strategic support for national officers.
- It will also help unions to broker learning opportunities for their members, running phone and online advice services, securing the best courses to meet learners' needs and kitemarking union academy provision to a quality standard.
- Finally, unionlearn will research union priorities on learning and skills, identify and share good practice, promote learning agreements, support union members on learning and skills bodies, and help shape sector skills agreements.

Northern TUC Annual Awards 2010
Union reps are, in fact, doing more and more every year to improve the quality of life of working people, from improving pay, terms and conditions, to tackling poverty and campaigning against racism. The Northern TUC union rep awards are an annual recognition of that contribution and a chance to highlight this invaluable difference that reps make to people at work every day. Please note that all nominations need to be signed off by the appropriate regional officer in your union.
