Developing our Members - building our branches
UNISON aims to give all members the opportunity to get back into learning, to develop new skills, build self confidence and experience the enjoyment of learning and the satisfaction of achievement.
Our lifelong learning programmes for members have evolved over a number of years, supported by UNISON’s partnerships with the WEA (Worker’s Educational Association). Each year, many of UNISON members across the Eastern region successfully complete a course with the help and support of their union.
Lifelong learning is also about helping branches to recruit new members, retain existing ones and develop new activists. Many members who have completed “Return to Learn” and “Women’s Lives” courses go on to become involved in the union, particularly as UNISON Learning Representatives (ULRs).
