About Lifelong Learning in the Midlands
The Midlands Region covers a large geographical area and while it is home to a lot of large towns and cities it also incorporates a sizable rural area. The aim is to create learning opportunities for all our members irrespective of location 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 the CWU learning agenda is reliant on the Union Learner Representatives (ULRs) working with members at local level. As the learning agenda progresses throughout the Midlands we aim to increase the numbers of ULRs so we can provide more local contact. Our ULRs are Matrix 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.
In the Midlands our ULRs come together to found the Regional Learning Committee and elect three officers who are all experienced ULRs. The committee meets quarterly and sets learning strategy for the region as well as sharing best practice. 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.
We are constantly looking for and developing learning opportunities so if you know of any learning activities taking place in your area please let your local ULR or one of the Regional Learning Officers know so we can circulate the information to other CWU Members in that area. |
