STUC. Scottish Union Learning. The learning force behind Scotland's workers.
Demand for Learning
Scots workers are more likely to undertake learning because of their current level of qualification and involvement of a trade union in learning.
Evidence gathered in a new ground breaking report commissioned by the Scottish TUC indicates that an estimated 400,000 people who work in a unionised workplace intend to undertake learning, three quarters of whom plan to do so within the next 2-3 years. Union Learning Representatives across Scotland are confident that the demand for union-led learning is increasing and with sufficient resources, they could deliver significantly higher numbers of learners in the workplace.
The report is the first of its kind in Scotland and the United Kingdom: a formal statistical analysis of demand for union-led learning.
