Lifelong Learning in the North East

The North East Region covers a large geographical area and while it is home to a number of large towns and cities it also incorporates a vast rural area.  The aim is to create learning opportunities for all our members irrespective of location which means that in addition to having our own learning centres we need to utilise the resources of other trade unions and community organisations.

The success of the CWU learning agenda is reliant on the Union Learner Representatives working with members at local level.  The new role introduce in 2003 continues to be developed to offer the best information, advice and guidance possible to members looking to improve their existing skills. 

As the learning agenda progresses throughout the North East the Union Learning Representatives will increase in numbers providing more local contact.  The webpage will also expand to offer more information on the courses available and events taking place within your area.

Numerous courses can be accessed for free and in many cases they can also be offered to family. If you go to course availability it will provide you with information on what is currently obtainable and if you are interested then contact your local ULR for further details. If you know of any learning activities taking place in your area please let myself or your local ULR know so we can circulate the information to other CWU members in that area.
