ULR's (UNISON Learning Reps)
UNISON Learning Reps-Induction
This five-day course is aimed at branch activists who want to organise around UNISON’s learning agenda. It will help you work with members and employers around learning and also looks at organising and negotiating around learning. We will run these courses when there are sufficient ULR’s in a geographical area – ULR’s will be contacted individually and dates will be advertised on our website on the "Getting Started" page.
ULR courses will be arranged in conjunction with Phil Kemp, the Regional Learning & Development Organiser as new ULR’s are appointed.
