UNISON in Wales provides lifelong learning opportunities to over 100,000 members across various sectors through several learning projects funded by the Wales Union Learning Fund. These projects aim to support basic skills in the workplace, promote lifelong learning through roadshows and courses, and help union learning reps. While distance and time off from work pose issues, UNISON developed an online basic skills awareness module on its learning pool site to facilitate large-scale learning. Future plans include branch training, certificated courses, and modules on supporting dyslexia and e-learning to further learning opportunities for members.
