Workplace training fund the Tories axed in England is helping tens of thousands in Wales

A WORKPLACE training scheme, axed by the Conservative government in England, is continuing to help tens of thousands of workers improve their workplace skills in Wales.

Wales Union Learning Fund (WULF), which marks its 25th anniversary on Thursday, is funded by the Welsh government and is a partnership between employers and Wales TUC.

Public service union Unison Cymru is one of the unions involved in the training scheme.
