Lifelong Learning now happening at ACC Halesowen!
25 October 2004
Usdaw members at ACC in Halesowen recently took advantage of an opportunity to look at the range of courses which will be offered onsite as a result of a partnership between Usdaw, ACC and Halesowen College.
The Black Country site is one of three ACC sites piloting a joint approach to Lifelong Learning with Usdaw. The project is guided by a Steering Group and much of the activity is carried out by four active Union Learning Reps.
Taster events ran during September at times to suit the shift patterns of ACC employees and highlighted a considerable interest in Computers for Beginners and European Computer Driving Licence courses with many people committing to courses there and then.
Halesowen College began delivering courses onsite on 20th September to fit around people’s shift patterns. Initially the emphasis will be on IT Courses with the project aiming to offer a wider range of learning opportunities in the near future.
ACC Halesowen boasts a fully equipped Learning Centre with computers provided by Halesowen College. The room is superbly located next to the main canteen was largely constructed and decorated by Usdaw Union Rep and Union Learning Rep John Brockbank with the full support of the company.
We wish all at ACC the best of luck! Watch this space for how they get on.
