We would like to invite all members to join us for Learning at Work Week 2022!
Learning at work week is a unique annual event which aims to build learning cultures at work and puts a spotlight on the importance and benefits of continual education and development.
UNISON members can sign up by emailing their membership number with the course they would like to attend to membereducationse@unison.co.uk
This year’s theme is ‘Learning uncovered’ and we have included sessions that you might not typically see as learning opportunities.
We have partnered with Aspire Sussex College, Dot Sign language and InnerSpace (meditation) to create the timetable of online sessions below.
Last year in the South East region we had over 250 members attend a learning event with us, we know that these events can spark new interests and be a great start to a life-long learning journey. We love members coming and learning something new, so sign up today.
Please note that all sessions are online and hosted via Microsoft Teams, with the exception of the BSL taster session which will be hosted via Zoom.
