What are ULRs? - click here to find out more...
ULRs are enthusiasts and advocates for learning. Their precise role will vary according to their own circumstances. It can include:
- raising awareness of lifelong learning issues in the workplace, especially for non traditional learners
- helping to identify and articulate the learning needs of particular groups of members/potential members
- with the branch education or lifelong learning coordinator, liaising with employers on lifelong learning opportunities in the workplace
- recruiting new members into the branch and encouraging existing members to get more involved through their interest in learning
- contacting and talking to members and potential members about how UNISON can assist them in their development
- supporting members who are on a learning programme
- signposting potential learners to possible providers
- representing and negotiating on behalf of members on issues around learning.
