Supporting Learners in the Workplace - A guide for Union Learning is now available. Unionlearn have comprehensively revised and updated the ULR handbook published in 2020, which was entitled Promoting Union Learning.

A handbook for union learning reps (ULRs) and reps involved in learning and skills, this guide is designed to be a helpful resource whether you're a recently elected or appointed rep, or have longer experience in your role.

The guide is made up of eight sections. Reps can dip in to the guide as a handy reference point, and it comes full of tips and examples of union projects with links to further resources, research and information throughout. 

TUC Head of Organisation and Services Department Kevin Rowan said:

Union learning representatives (ULRs) have an important place in union organisation in workplaces. They promote and support union-led learning at work, support that can help co-workers make life changing improvements to their work and personal life.

This guide will help reps to provide learners and apprentices with the right level of support that encourages their learning and progression and how they can work work with their employers and providers.”

This new and exciting resource can be downloaded from the unionlearn website.
