About unionlearn

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.
