This report identifies factors that support Learning Representatives (Learning Reps) and their training within the context of Careerforce, which could be adapted for industry training more widely.
It documents the findings from a targeted, half-day training programme with follow-up support for Learning Reps. This training aimed to renew and refresh Learning Reps’ knowledge and skills so they would be better placed to support co-workers, particularly in relation to identifying the co-workers’ learning needs and assisting them to complete programmes of learning.
