The Union Learning Fund (ULF) for Northern Ireland was established in 2002 to promote activity by trade unions to support the government's objective of creating a learning society. The ULF's main aim is to promote a culture of learning which will equip people for work in a modern economy.

The Fund is managed and administered by NIC ICTU under an agreement with the Department for the Economy (DfE). The agreement directs the level and type of learning activity that should be supported by the Fund.

The ULF supports union learning projects to transform the lives of their members in developing skills, achieving qualifications, and promoting lifelong learning opportunities within the workplace.

With the support of dedicated Union Learning Representatives (ULR), the ULF has helped thousands of workers to access a wide range of learning opportunities. ULRs are at the forefront of efforts to improve the skills of the workforce. They are the key to the success of Union Learning.
