(SNP):

To ask the Scottish Government how
it supports trade unions to deliver skills training and
lifelong learning. (S5O-03405)
The Minister for Business, Fair Work and Skills (Jamie
Hepburn):
Trade unions play a key role in
supporting the learning needs of workers. That is why, in
2019-20, we are maintaining funding of £2.262 million to
Scottish union learning to support workforce development and
£100,000 for its programme on fair work: leadership and
equalities. Scottish union learning is also using £85,000,
which is being provided over 2017 to 2019 from Scotland’s
allocation of the national cyber security programme fund, to
build the cyber-resilience capacity of unions.
