Informal Adult Learning
2010 ULF award Winner: Informal Adult Learning
Unison
Unison has been recognised for its role in widening participation in lifelong learning and promoting the profile and take-up of informal adult learning in the workplace. Many of those who have studied courses have gone on to further learning and have been supported by the union's network of union learning reps. The project's target was its lower paid members, those in low skilled jobs and without qualifications. The aim was to increase workplace training, involvement in public policy and citizenship areas and in the union's own structures among members.
