Learning at Work Week 2019

13 – 19 May 2019

Learning At Work Week is an ideal opportunity for union learning reps and other UNISON activists to promote learning in the workplace, to raise the union’s profile, and to start conversations about training needs with the employer and with colleagues. It can also be a lot of fun!

Co-ordinated by the Campaign for Learning,  Learning at Work Week 2019 takes place from 13-19 May on the theme ‘Shaping the Future’.

Take a look at our Regional Twitter page for regular updates of the week
