Unionlearn, Community & Trade Union Learning Centre have teamed up with the BBC First Click campaign to help encourage the millions of people who currently do not use the internet to understand and enjoy its benefits.
This complements unionlearn’s own major campaign GO ON-Get online; Get a lifeline! putting trade unions right at the heart of the movement to ensure that every adult in the country can use a computer and the internet with confidence.
The purpose of the First Click campaign is to engage with those who are not online and direct them to a freephone advice line – 08000 150 950. Thousands of people have already called and signed up for a beginner’s computer course in their local area (please see below for dates and time).
We’re encouraging all trade union centres to use First Click materials to complement what they’re already doing with myguide and online basics. There’s a wealth of online and offline First Click resources which could help you help learners and extend and enhance your GO ON – get online activities.

CTU learning centre will be running 4 IT beginner classes in July. If you are interested please contact Tanya on 0203 288 5520 to register your place.
