Sometimes this can simply mean making sure that ULRs and the other reps in the workplace are working together to support learners and getting skills onto http://unitelllneyh.blogspot.com/2010/07/future-for-lifelong-learning-in-region.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575052934661143075.post-47733178167385973Tue, 13 Jul 2010 13:48:00 +00002010-07-13T14:48:11.594+01:00It may have escaped your notice, but yesterday (Monday 12th July 2010) was Unionlearn's Annual Conference.  The keynote speaker was Dr Vince Cable, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS).  During his address to conference, he expressed the hope that the Government and the unions could have a good business-like dialogue.  Dr Cable mentioned the thousands of http://unitelllneyh.blogspot.com/2010/07/unionlearn-conference-congress-house.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575052934661143075.post-3911543733806210451Mon, 28 Jun 2010 09:47:00 +00002010-06-28T10:47:34.012+01:00I'm sure that the news that the England team have been knocked out of the World Cup again will not have come as a surprise to many people.  I can't help wondering though whether the people who have spent so much time, effort and money in decorating their cars, houses and sometimes themselves with the cross of St George expected more from the team in South Africa.  Perhaps, the real http://unitelllneyh.blogspot.com/2010/06/greater-expectations.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575052934661143075.post-2615784590576717392Mon, 21 Jun 2010 20:00:00 +00002010-06-21T13:03:36.011+01:00I guess that most people don't spend much time reading the official transcript of proceedings in the House of Commons (Hansard). Indeed, I'd probably go so far as to say that most people have never read the official transcript of proceedings in the House of Commons. However, sometimes it is worth a look.Take, for example, the contribution last Thursday (17th June 2010) from the new Minister of http://unitelllneyh.blogspot.com/2010/06/government-support-for-unionlearn-sign.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575052934661143075.post-2010609429785811312Mon, 21 Jun 2010 17:00:00 +00002010-06-21T11:02:26.621+01:00humbersidelifelong learningnorth eastunion learning fundunion learning representativesunite the unionyorkshireAs this is the first posting in this Blog, I thought it would be helpful to let you know what Unite is doing by way of supporting Lifelong Learning in North East, Yorkshire and Humberside Region.Since April this year, we now have a single national project offering support to all sectors in which Unite organises.
