An Usdaw guide
to working with colleges
|
With the launch of Usdaw’s campaign for Lifelong Learning, Learning Reps and Project Workers began to start working with and forming partnerships with colleges and education providers.
This guide is the result of, and attempts to sum up, the experience we have had of working with colleges. We are confident that it will be of use to Usdaw Learning Rep and Officers who are developing access to learning for members at sites they are responsible for. In particular, we feel it will be of benefit where sites are approaching colleges for the first time.
To gather the information for this manual, we brought together project workers from Usdaw and the TUC who have worked with Usdaw sites. We also invited certain key people from colleges we have worked with. This discussion produced the first draft. This draft was then discussed and built upon at two TUC seminars. Finally, Catherine Cain of Wigan and Leigh College gave special assistance with drafting the section on How College Finance Works. We would like to thank all the participants, and particularly Catherine, for their help. This manual is the collective product of all this experience, but of course the final version is Usdaw's and any mistakes and inaccuracies are ours.
We would like to give special thanks to Wigan and Leigh College and MANCAT College, without whose support we would not have been able to make the progress we have. We would also like to thank TUC Learning Services whose help has been invaluable. The Union Learning Fund's financial assistance has made possible things that would otherwise have been impossible, so finally, thank you to the DFES and its Union Learning Fund team.
However, the real heroes behind this pamphlet are the hundreds of Usdaw Learning Reps who are pioneering the road that makes learning accessible to our members. Without their effort, none of what this pamphlet describes would be possible.
