Life Long Learning in Greater London

Life Long Learning (LLL) means learning in the broadest sense, providing people with the skills and confidence to progress and participate at work, in the union, and in wider society. Our focus is learning in the workplace, mainly on programmes organised in partnership with employers, using UNISON materials.

For information please contact:

Richard Soer LLL Project Worker, or

Les Perkins Regional Education Officers UNISON Congress House, Great Russell Street, WCIB 3LS.

UNISON's partnerships with employers, to deliver communication skills courses to non-traditional learners in the workplace, are now delivered in all services, both with public sector employers and private contractors.

UNISON has also delivered ESOL (English as a Second or Other Language) courses in a number of places across London.

There are now legal rights for union appointed Life Long Learning Advisors (LLAs) or Union Learning Reps (ULRs) to spend paid time at work raising awareness of LLL amongst members. They are responsible for finding out the learning needs members have, and liasing with UNISON, training managers, and employers to put on courses to meet them.

UNISON works with branches to train LLAs/ULRs and following a successful workshop in November 2003 is setting up a London wide network for LLAs/ULRs. If you would like to join it please contact us.
