South East Learning at Work Day Fund Learning at Work DayLearning at Work (LAW) Day takes place on 22nd May 2008 and is a great opportunity to promote a workplace learning initiative. In previous years Union Learning Reps have used it to launch and advertise learning centres, arrange taster sessions or give awards and to promote learning in interesting and imaginative ways. Across the UK people will be learning together, exploring new ideas, having a go at unusual activities and revealing hidden talents. Last year an estimated 5,000 organisations across the UK took part in a range of different activities from job swaps and IT training to treasure hunts and self-defence courses. The South East Trade Union Learning at Work Day Fund Here in the South East Working with the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) we were able to offer funding to support workplace-learning activities on Learning at Work Day. The South East Trade Union LAW Day Fund helped to support over 60 workplace activities involving over 6000 people. We are delighted to announce that SEEDA have agreed to another round of funding through the South East Trade Union LAW Day Fund for 2008. Affiliated unions can bid for up to £400 per workplace to fund learning activity on Learning at Work Day or during Adult Learners week.
