2017 Union Learner of the Year Announced
Scottish Union Learning, which is part of the Scottish TUC, has announced that the 7th Annual Learner of the Year is Priscilla Maramba, UNISON member and Support Worker at Stirling Council. Priscilla was chosen as the 2017 Learner of the Year because of her dedicated commitment to continuous learning since she came to the UK from Zimbabwe in 2001.
Grahame Smith, STUC General Secretary, said:
“Priscilla’s story is one which highlights the valuable contribution that migrant workers make to our workplaces, our communities, and our wider movement. Priscilla has so much to offer Scotland, and has worked extremely hard to diversify her skills through various learning and volunteering opportunities. However, what her story also highlights is that much more work needs to be done to ensure that migrant workers, particularly women, are given the opportunity to utilise all their skills and experience within the labour market.”
