UNISON West Midlands learning and training
Every year, thousands of members develop new skills, knowledge and confidence with UNISON College. Members across the UK can access exclusive courses, bursaries, financial support, special events and e-learning.
Courses for members are aimed at building confidence, skills and knowledge in personal development and which will help members keep apace with the ever-changing nature of work in the 21st century.
Activist Courses are aimed at workplace representatives and branch officers, and those who wish to involve themselves in the activities and campaigns of our union.
Our Activist training programme is designed to give new and experienced activists the skills they need to carry out their roles with confidence. All courses are free for you to attend, although there may be a charge to your branch.
Training is vital to help improve workers’ rights and to deliver UNISON campaigns to improve pay and conditions, make workplaces safer and promoting equalities.
There is a mix of in-person and online events, along with a variety of options for participating in organising stewards and health and safety courses.
We offer financial support to members taking part in various educational and learning opportunities, as well as learning discounts from a number of providers. Being a UNISON member also offers access to our full member learning offer which includes a wide range of educational opportunities, both online and offline.
