About Lifelong Learning

Members can benefit from a vast array of online, distance and workplace-based learning opportunities on subjects from English, Maths, and IT to sign language and photography.
Learning is a great way to boost your confidence and skills, and is proven to lift your confidence and morale at work. Usdaw has agreements to provide learning centres at many major companies including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Wincanton, DHL, Next, CRL, McVities and Unilever.

How this helps you
Through Lifelong Learning, we are opening doors for members who want to increase their skills and knowledge and improve their career prospects by offering on-site courses in conjunction with companies, local colleges and other course providers.
