Investment in Union Learning Fund pays back 10-fold

Each £1 invested in the Union Learning Fund generates a total economic return of £10.25, a new Unionlearn report estimates, with £5.75 going to individuals and £4.50 to employers.

The results of the Union learning survey, compiled by Exeter University, are based on a survey of over 2,500 people who took part in learning as a result of support provided through ULF.

Unionlearn director Tom Wilson said: “Not only are unions reaching learners who would not readily engage with the learning system and improving their confidence and skills, but we are doing it in a cost effective and highly productive way.”
