Case studies

The ULF is a very important source of funding. It enables unions to develop their capacity in learning to benefit members and the union team at work.

We all like to hear about success stories and how a project has impacted on people – and the ULF provides great opportunities to show the different new structures, forums/networks and adoption of qualifications.
