In 2004 UNISON and The Open University joined forces to open up doors to learning for public service workers, and over nearly two decades thousands of UNISON members have taken advantage of our partnership to get qualifications, broaden their skills and knowledge, and move on in their careers.

If you’re one of them, we’d love to hear from you. It’s very important for us to be able to understand how our members take up learning opportunities and what are the factors that enable them to do it.
