STUC. Scottish Union Learning. The learning force behind Scotland's workers.

Funding Union Learning

Trade unions in Scotland have a long and proud history of providing learning opportunities to workers. A more recent journey undertaken by trade unions in this area began with the creation of the Scottish Union Learning Fund in 2000. The Scottish Union Learning Fund provided the resource that built capacity within unions, enabled learning partnerships to be developed and produced life-changing opportunities for countless union members. In the past few years, the Learning and Development Funds have been developed by Scottish Union Learning. Through the utilisation of these resources, trade unions have provided learning to thousands of workers throughout Scotland.
