The latest unionlearn Learning & Skills Policy Update is now out and packed full of information aimed at keeping unions and stakeholders up to speed on recent learning and skills policy developments.

The update highlights new resources developed by unionlearn to support union reps to boost learning and skills opportunities in the workplace.

This edition of the policy update covers an update on the launch of two skills consultations by the government, the TUC's view of skills policy, an update on green skills and much more.

Iain Murray, TUC Senior Policy Officer:

Our latest newsletter includes an analysis of shortcomings in government policy on a number of fronts in the face of the growing skills crisis and the urgent need to boost opportunities for people to upskill and retrain sooner rather than later.

We also highlight some recent positive developments, including many of the skills recommendations in the final report of the Green Jobs Taskforce. It is very welcome that the Taskforce is highlighting that upskilling and retraining for green jobs could be boosted by testing out new entitlements to paid time off for training and by building the role of union learning reps in more workplaces.
