Lifelong Learning in the South East
The Union aims to connect members across the South East with interesting, exciting and enjoyable learning opportunities which means that in addition to having our own learning centres we link up with other trade unions, community organisations and learning providers.
The success of CWU learning is reliant on our Union Learner Representatives (ULRs) working with members at a local level. We are always looking to increase the numbers of ULRs so we can provide more local contact, at present most Branches have at least one! Our ULRs are trained and accredited to offer the best information and advice possible to members looking to improve their existing skills or gain new ones. If you'd like to know more about ULRs then click here or speak to your local ULR.
Union Learning Reps also organise the learning opportunities that members want, at a time and place that suits, and at minimal cost - wherever possible for free! These might be through taught courses (possibly some in your workplace), online or distance learning, or through learning clubs or community learning. It's about providing the good information and advice as well as access to the quality enjoyable learning experiences that our members want.
The South East Regional Learning Committee (RLC) & ULR Network
In the South East our ULRs have a Regional Learning Committee which meets quarterly and sets the learning strategy for the region as well as sharing best practice and organising the ULR network. It also runs workshops and has guest speakers to provide our ULRs with continuous development and improve our service to you. If you'd like to know more about the Regional Learning Committee and it's meetings please click here.
