Stream: Learning through unions

Climbing Frame

The NEW union learning Climbing Frame is a free website for Union Learning Reps (ULRs) to help them in their role of supporting learners in the workplace.

The Climbing Frame recognises that union learners have aspirations, experiences and skills which relate to all aspects of their lives: their current jobs, possible career routes and personal situations.  This website has been designed to help ULRs effectively carry out their role in supporting union learners and help bring learning into the workplace.

The Climbing Frame can be used to;
  • provide up to date information to help during discussions with learners
  • update ULRs knowledge about various learning opportunities
  • develop individual action plans with learners
  • keep records of sessions with learners
  • store local information and contacts
  • gather information about learner profiles to support negotiations with employers

The Climbing Frame website is available now for more information visit: www.climbingframe.unionlearn.org.uk or email climbingframe@tuc.org.uk
