Supporting union learners into higher learning in the East Midlands - a unionlearn investigation and report The trade union movement has always supported access to education. Education helps improve democracy and the fight for social justice. The aim of trade unions and unionlearn* is to open up learning opportunities for all, whether this is to help people access higher learning for the first time or to support members with their continuing education and professional development. Unions are working to support members into learning that is appropriate to their needs and starting point. Unions also encourage learners to fulfill their potential and help them overcome barriers that prevent them from fulfilling their aspirations. It is for these reasons that unionlearn in the Midlands sought to develop partnership work with Skills for Sustainable Communities Lifelong Learning Network (SSCLLN) in order to develop regional progression routes to HE* for learners in the East Midlands. The aim of our project was to scope union activity around progressing learners to HE and to seek views on learner aspirations and issues arising for them. The findings of this report will enable us to develop progression pathways relevant to the needs of union learners in the region. Hopefully this partnership project will lead to many more workers accessing HE and realising their aspirations and potential.
