Forthcoming seminars and conferences
Join us for the online launch of our new national campaign, Earning + Learning – helping student workers learn about their rights at work. The campaign has been developed in collaboration with the Trades Union Congress, Young Women’s Trust and National Union of Students, and co-created with an Expert Advisory Board of working students in schools, colleges and universities.
On the 24th September at midday we will launch the campaign. At the event you’ll hear from the young people, organisations and researchers behind the campaign, and get a first look at the campaign website and resources.
