Secretary of State presents prestigious TUC unionlearn Quality Award to Bradford College Trade Union Studies Centre
Bradford College Trade Union Studies Centre is one of 45 education providers which have received the unionlearn Quality Award since it was launched in June last year. The College works closely with union learning reps (ULRs) in Bradford, who are part of a network of over 20,000 ULRs across the country. The unionlearn Quality Award is awarded to providers in the learning world who are committed to working with trade unions. Awards are made to providers who demonstrate that unions and union learners are considered in the design, development and delivery of courses and programmes. Providers achieving the unionlearn Quality Award will be included on the unionlearn website which receives over one and a half million hits per month. John Denham MP, Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills said: 'I am delighted to present the unionlearn Quality Award to Bradford College Trade Union Studies Centre in recognition of its work providing learning opportunities for trade unions and their members. Bradford College is playing an important role in raising skills levels in Bradford and through that is helping individuals to develop their full potential, which can also benefit their families, their communities and their employers.' Christopher Murphy, TUC Tutor said: 'It is always pleasing to receive acknowledgment for achievement and the TUC studies section at Bradford College is delighted with its unionlearn Quality Award.' Dr Alan Roe, Regional Manager, unionlearn with Yorkshire and the Humber TUC said: 'Bradford College is a very worthy recipient of the unionlearn Quality Award, which reflects a tremendous amount of hard work by staff and learners. The great partnership between Bradford College and trade unions is crucial to enabling workers in the area to improve their lives and those of their families through learning.'
