Inspiring CWU ULR in Dundee receives the Helen Dowie Award for Lifelong Learning

John McAlinden receiving award from Humza YousafOn Tuesday 16th April, STUC Congress announced the recipient of the Helen Dowie Award for Lifelong Learning to be John McAlinden of the Communication Workers Union (CWU). 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 union representatives, promoting lifelong learning and skills development within workplaces and across the trade union movement. 

In a rapidly changing technological environment, workforce development and ultimately job security relies on regular upskilling, particularly for communication workers. John worked hard to ensure delivery of the programme continued throughout the COVID19 pandemic and further develops new models of delivery as workers and learning providers continue to adapt to new ways of learning and studying. John is well equipped to respond to the changing needs and demands of CWU members in developing their workplace and career skills.
