A year of great learning for members

Welcome to the latest edition of uniteEXTRA (UX), the Education Special, February 2025.

This time we’re focusing on Unite’s panoply of education courses. The union’s education year has just begun, the prospectus is out, so we thought we’d bring them to you on the Unite website courtesy of the wonders of uniteEXTRA!

So if you are an accredited Unite rep, shop steward, activist or convenor and want to find out more why not take a peak at the latest edition of UX.

If there is anything you are interested in you’ll be able to apply for the courses or find out more about them too. But, please bear in mind that these courses are only open to accredited Unite reps. Of course if you’d like to become a rep then please contact your branch or regional office to find out more.

We hope you enjoy your read, and if you want to receive your copy ahead of our web publication date, contact your local regional membership team to opt in to UX. Please share on social media where you can. And if you have a comment on uniteEXTRA you can contact the UX team at uniteextra@unitetheunion.org
