What is LAOS?
Lifelong learning
UNISON Learning and Organising Services (LAOS) co-ordinates trade union education and lifelong learning opportunities for members. This includes training and development for union reps as well as personal and career development courses ranging from Skills for Life through to professional qualifications. We also offer learning discounts and a small educational grants scheme.
The second Learning Angle is now available. This angle looks at promoting learning as an equality issue and how to work with Equality in their branches.
Northern College have developed a part-time two year Access to Higher Education Diploma in Labour Studies for trade union activists.
Is anyone in your branch thinking of taking up a Trade Union and Labour Studies course? Do you know of any activists keen to further their trade union knowledge and experience?
The TUC Educational Trust is offering two bursaries of £800 each to enable trade union members to visit a European Union country to study, first hand, an aspect of trade unionism, industrial relations, training or employment.
The closing date for applications is 21 August 2009.
TUC Educational Trust is offering bursaries to students who are offered a place on the part-time course Keele Certificate in Industrial Relations.
