Affordable Learning

    Affordable learning helps members catch the bug
    For Usdaw members to get access to learning it has to be affordable. The last four years have shown that if we can make learning accessible, Usdaw members will get involved. Learning reps up and down the country have done this. They have brought learning in or near to the workplace at times that suit our members – and thousands of Usdaw members have taken up these opportunities.

    Have you got the bug?
    It’s an exciting time to be a learning rep with many new projects, new ideas, new benefits for our members - and the number of people involved growing all the time.

Learning Reps

    A week in the life of Paddy O’Connor
    I’m a learning rep at the Tesco Welham Green Distribution Centre. We have just been setting up our on-site learning centre and I was heavily involved in this. Thankfully not every week is as busy or stressful.
