Learning at Work Week 2025

UNISON College and Learning at Work Week logos

Explore the power of learning during this year’s national Learning at Work Week 12-18 May.

Learning at Work Week is an annual event that highlights the importance and benefits of learning and development in the workplace.

It’s a great chance to try out short versions of some of our courses and workshops, and find out more information about where to go next with your learning journey.

All the sessions are available free of charge and are open to all.

The 2025 theme is ‘Get connected’. It highlights the social aspect of lifelong learning at work and the ways in which we can connect people to learning experiences by fostering motivation and overcoming barriers.

UNISON College is marking the week with a series of learning webinars:

  • Get connected with yourself – with mindfulness
  • Get connected by sharing your creativity – with writing
  • Get connected with others across the world – and stay safe online
  • and more!
