Evaluation of stage 2 of the Collective Learning Fund project

Collective learning funds (CLFs) are union-led initiatives to stimulate co-investment in the personal development of the workforce to make such learning affordable and accessible. They are frameworks for levering in cash and in-kind contributions from employers, providers , unions and individuals. Unionlearn established pilots in the North West and the East Midlands to test different models. Twenty three of the pilots were evaluated. This evaluation report found that the pilots helped employees to take up over 2,700 learning opportunities. CLFs also resulted in learning agreements and the establishment of joint learning committees with management. Benefits included an increased role for unions in learning, better industrial relations and more confidence for learners. A toolkit will be published in September to help unions establish CLFs in workplaces in other regions.
