Young rail worker shows how union-led learning can impact on workforce development

The recipient for the STUC Scottish Union Learning Learner of the Year Award 2024 is RMT member Ross Henderson. 

The annual award, presented by First Minister Humza Yousaf at the STUC annual congress in Dundee this week, celebrates the achievements of Scotland’s trade unionist workplace learners. 

After joining Scotrail as a Customer Service apprentice, just after lockdown had ended in 2020, Ross undertook a range of new union-provided courses including one on deaf awareness. This is particularly important given the noisy environment often found in major train stations.
