lately we have ....

What an interesting week! Ivor and I did the RUL conference where we took the RMT workshop on bringing learning into the Union - which was very enlightening as it brought a number of issues to light from RULR's who had travelled to conference from all over the country. Lots of nice freebies as well- flash drives T shirts - mugs - calculators - document folders -all branded with RUL colours! (We took monkey as well, but that's another story!)
I checked out the refurbishment of Dover's new RMT regional office on Tuesday which is looking very pukka and will be a delight to deliver training from, and should be open by June. Wednesday saw us out and about talking to new starters and old learners! around the patch, and Thursday and Friday we had more RULR's volunteering to man the centre, which is not only much appreciated but useful as they are better with I.T. than we are!
In the long term, we are working with Southeastern to encourage frontline colleagues into acheiving NVQ's and some of us will be training to be assessors! So busy busy and onwards and upwards! See you soon!

Feed back from the RUL conference shows that the "Bringing learning into the unions" workshop that Ivor and I did was very popular and well received! Hooray for us!
