Vicki works in the Midland Region and leads on union learning activity and rep development. Vicki supports two union learning networks in the region in the west and east and helps branches to plan strategically for learning activity. Vicki works with regional ATL and TUC colleagues to ensure that learning is embedded into the region. Vicki also works with newly trained reps to continue to develop their skills and signpost them to opportunities.
In the Midlands we have two learning networks that meet to discuss and plan learning activity with the region. They ensure that through these meetings members in the region are able to access local learning opportunities on topics that they are interested in.
With a partnership agreement with Solihull college and a range of events across the region we aims to cover as many issues for as many members as possible. Recently we have held events on the new OFSTED Framework, IT Taster sessions to support and supply staff with Classroom Display and Stress also proving popular over the past few months.
As members in the midlands you can get involved through completing a learning needs survey, attending an event or getting involved to become a union learning rep. This term a number of branches are undertaking Learning Needs Surveys and will be using these to shape the events that will be on offer.
