What is Lifelong Learning?

Lifelong Learning brings together job-related training, career development and learning for our own personal development such as improving our literacy and numeracy skills, or learning a new language. It is about giving Usdaw members the chance to learn by providing equal access for all and ensuring learning is accessible
and affordable.

For many years Usdaw members have missed out on adult learning. The jobs our members do often don’t attract a great deal of job related training. Courses which could help them in career or personal development are inaccessible, costly, or at times which would make it difficult for our members to attend.
