What is LAOS?
Lifelong learning
UNISON Learning and Organising Services (LAOS) co-ordinates trade union education and lifelong learning opportunities for members. This includes training and development for union reps as well as personal and career development courses ranging from Skills for Life through to professional qualifications. We also offer learning discounts and a small educational grants scheme.
Certificate in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in Union Learning.
LAOS will be running the Branch Welfare Officer training for 2010.
These in-depth employment law courses organised at national level supplement the range of training available at regional level and are aimed at experienced activists.
Learning Angles are a series of quarterly factsheets to help Union Learning Reps (ULRs) promote learning around current issues.
(06/07/09) The Certificate in Professional Development (CPD) in Union Learning is recruiting for September 2009. The Certificate has been developed by the Working Lives Research Institute in close collaboration with trade unionists and it is accredited by London Metropolitan University.
