Work Based Learning
Unions are also taking an increasingly active interest in the education and skills level of their members. They have become involved with work-based learning, and in some cases, skill-based pay. This has facilitated a move away from an individual and towards a collective approach to work based learning. Congress and affiliated unions have been especially successful in using the Human Resource programmes of the EU to develop a number of interventions in this area. These have included a training course for union activists in the area of vocational training, an equality programme in the retail sector, the development of a network of equality reps, and the only Irish based course in total productive maintenance. As a result of these and other initiatives, unions have become a major player in the area of work-based learning.
