Unite the Union has a proud record of
supporting our members to improve their quality of life; working
conditions, and promotion & employment prospects through
learning.
Jim Mowatt - Unite Director of Education also oversees the
Lifelong Learning (LLL) department. As the head of Lifelong
Learning he is responsible for delivery of LLL throughout
Unite and in workplaces up and down the country.
Thanks to bids submitted by the union to the Government via the
Union Learning Fund, we have the largest and, arguably, most
effective LLL project within the British Trades Union movement.
Jim Telford manages the project within England. It consists of a
network of Regional Learning Organisers (RLO) and Learning Centres
with Support Workers, up and down the country. In this way we
support and train Union Learning Representatives (ULRs) to
facilitate and guide members in the workplace, to make the most of
the opportunities available. ULRs as part of the LLL team can help
companies draw down funding and support, to increase the
skills within the workplace, to the benefit of all. With LLL
team support, ULRs also aim to ensure that access to training and
learning is fair and equitable.
Similar systems are in place in other parts of the UK in
partnership with their respective parliaments snd
assemblies..
To get more information please contact your Regional Office and
ask to speak to either your Regional Industrial Organiser or a
Learning Organiser.
We intend to keep updating this section of the website, so
if you are interested in Education; Learning or Training for
the benefit of you and your colleagues and/or your community
keep checking this site out.
If you think that you might like to support your
colleagues at work and in the community with continuing LLL,
contact your Regional Learning Organiser about opportunities to
become a ULR in your workplace.
As an active member, if you have suggestions on how we can
improve getting information and support around learning and skills
out to you, then please get back to me by clicking ian.scott@unitetheunion.org
or ringing 07768931306.
Offering a wide range of online accredited courses, the site
also has a redundancy support area and activist resource banks.
