Background Information
The STUC has secured European funding to support unions in developing their work around lifelong learning. There are two separate elements of support: the Learning Fund and the Development Fund.
The Learning Fund (Scottish Fund for Union Learning)
The Learning Fund directly finances collective learning provision to meet the demands for workplace learning. Delivery is predominantly in the workplace or at an agreed alternative location if delivery within the workplace is not appropriate.
The Development Fund
In Lowlands and Uplands Scotland, the Development Fund does not directly fund learning, but supports activity which improves the capacity of trade unions to deliver learning and skills development, the upgrading of basic and occupational skills and the reduction of skills gaps. There is a separate application process for activity based in the Highlands and Islands through the Development Fund in the Highlands and Islands.
