Meet the Year 11 Trainees: Profiles of this years Academy Trainees |
Since then, the Organising Academy has trained over 250 new union organisers who have organised thousands of new union members, identified hundreds of new reps and established unions for the first time in hundreds of workplaces.
The Organising Academy Training programme, which is now supported by Ruskin College, is aimed at supporting the work of unions who are organising for growth. Our courses provide organising related training for new and experienced organisers; union officers involved in wider union activity and lay reps and officials. All courses are accredited by the Open College Network and are delivered free of charge.

The Union Advantage
Representing over a quarter of the UK's workforce, unions are the only workplace organisations able to present a cohesive voice on the concerns of working people and their families. This report sets out the scale of the ‘union advantage' – the positive benefits that unions bring to individual workers; the organisations that employ them; and the broader community.

Congress fringe 'Reaching out: organising young workers'
The case for organising and supporting young workers is increasingly urgent as youth unemployment reaches alarming levels and young people at work face increasing job insecurity, vulnerability and low pay. Yet trade union membership among young people remains low. This event looks at the ways trade unions are taking on the challenge of organising and empowering young members and how the TUC and unions can work together to promote the benefits of trade union membership to young people both in the workplace and wider community.
This event will also showcase the winning entries to the TUC's 60 Second Ads contest, the TUC competition inviting budding film makers to submit 60 second films promoting the benefits of trade unions.
Refreshments will be available.
