Union Learning Representatives Recruitment #TheCWU

Union Learning Representatives Recruitment
Dear Colleagues,
The Education & Training Department are mounting a drive to recruit more Union Learning Representatives (ULRs) – particularly in branches that do not already have one.
As well as organising vital learning opportunities for members, ULRs are performing an increasingly important role in activist training. It has been observed that where ULRs are working within their branches to plan activist training those branches are generally training more new reps, this in turn aids with succession planning and building healthy, active and sustainable branch structures.
Furthermore, as the government’s savage cuts to FE funding have forced us to restructure our courses – and as we embrace the flexibility that e-learning can offer, especially for those with caring responsibilities, we increasingly need ULRs on the ground to organise access to computers and support those who are new to online learning.
All of this means there has never been a more important time for branches to ensure they have a ULR. There is a ULR course running at Alvescot Lodge week commencing the 19th September 2016 and we are also able to organise training locally or regionally if there are enough students to make it viable.
Please contact the Education & Training Department via email at learn@cwu.org for more information. Alternatively you can find out more about the ULR role via Communique magazine which is archived on the CWU website here http://www.cwu.org/education/communiqu%C3%A9-magazine/or in the ULR section of the website here http://www.cwu.org/education/union-learning-representatives/ or alternatively you can sign up to the ULR Essentials area of Left Click.
Yours sincerely,
 
Trish Lavelle

Head of Education & Training
