Everything you ever wanted to know about learning

Stay on top of all the demands on your time by ordering your copy of the new ULR handbook, Working For Learners .

CoverUnion learning reps usually have a lot on their plates: members may need a bit of gentle encouragement back into learning; employers can drag their feet about time off for training; it's not always easy to track down the right provider; and technology doesn't always work the way it should.

That's why we have produced a handbook for ULRs called Working For Learners.

Available as an indexed spiralbound booklet, about the size of a paperback, and in electronic form on the unionlearn website, the new handbook is designed to help ULRs in every aspect of their day-today work.

There are top tips for learning and organising , bite-sized case studies of successful projects and a jargon-buster to help ensure ULRs can always tell t heir COVE from their ESOL*.

Indeed, there's a vast range of material packed into the publication's 70 -plus pages, which ULRs old and new will find useful.

Thinking about your own development in the ULR* role? Take a look at the diagram showing possible progression routes for ULRs through courses provided by TUC Education. It shows a range of options for further training depending on what you're most interested in.

Chapters cover:

  • Learning and organising ,
  • Benefits of ULRs ,
  • Functions and rights,
  • ULR agreements
  • ULR activities
  • ULR training
  • Support for learning.
  • Jargon buster,
  • Resources list
  • Contact information
