Summer School Experiences

We provide a wide variety of courses for Usdaw Reps so they can communicate with and represent their members in all sorts of different situations. One of the most popular courses is the annual Summer School for newly elected Activists, which is held at Wortley Hall near Sheffield.

General Secretary John Hannett said: “As soon as Reps are elected we provide introductory training courses to give them the skills they need to do a good job. The Summer Schools are an extension of this and, while not all Reps can be away from home for five days, this is an excellent way of supplementing those skills in a friendly, supportive and relaxed environment.”
