Your chance to help shape the UNISON College

The survey has now closed. Thank you to everyone who responded to it.

When our general secretary, Christina McAnea, stood for election, one of her key pledges was to establish a UNISON College to help members get the training and development they need for their personal and professional success and fulfilment.

Over the past year, work has been going on to lay the groundwork for that College. Now we need your help to build on that, to make sure that it matches what you need and expect.

That’s why we’re conducting a survey of UNISON members. In it we’re asking about your experiences of education and learning so far, and about what you would want from a UNISON College.

It should take about ten minutes to complete and, as a thank you, we’ll enter you into a draw to win a shopping voucher worth up to £250.

Please complete the survey – and please let other members in your branch know about it too. We want to get as wide a response as possible to make sure that we truly understand what UNISON members want from and for their College.
