Issue date
On 30 March we hosted an event in the Senedd to officially launch the new round of the Wales Union Learning Fund (WULF).
#WULFWorks

This round will see 18 new projects delivering workplace learning to thousands of people between now and 2025.

The event was a huge success and included contributions by WULF projects from the previous round, showcasing their achievements.  Presentations and stories from the CWU, ASELF and GMB unions highlighted the unique work that WULF does in many hundreds of workplaces, all over Wales.

All Welsh workers have the opportunity to access the fund to take advantage of the support, advice and guidance and training offers provided through WULF projects. 

Find out how you can get support from the 18 new WULF projects for 2022-2025.

The event was sponsored by the Minister for Economy, Vaughan Gething who spoke to highlight the reasons why Welsh Government continue to support the programme:

“The WULF delivered positive outcomes for workers during the incredibly challenging conditions created by the coronavirus pandemic, and I want to see that success continue as we transition to a greener economy that is more prosperous for all”

“We very much welcome another three years of WULF and we look forward to delivering further exciting projects to prepare Welsh workforces for a green, just transition that is inclusive and equitable for all”
