加勒比地区劳工运动的成就通常被历史化，而没有强调劳工学院对工会的职能和生存能力的贡献。五十多年来，劳动学院在发展对劳动研究感兴趣的工会成员的知识和技能方面发挥了关键作用。许多人将20世纪中期加勒比劳工运动的鼎盛时期归因于劳工学院对工会运动的知识推动。在此期间，工会主要依靠劳工学院提供智力支持和建议，主要是在需要深入学术调查的问题上。来自劳工学院的支持提高了工人运动的声誉，改变了人们普遍认为工会运动只由穷人和文盲工人阶级组成的观念。这些并行的培训活动对工会运动的领导层和对劳资关系的整体影响都产生了积极的影响。工会领导的格局发生了明显的变化，“被许多人认为是蛊惑人心和救世主的第一代领导人越来越让位于更年轻、受过更正规教育的第二代和第三代领导人”。
The achievements of the labor movement in the Caribbean are generally historicized without highlighting the contribution of labor colleges to the function and survivability of trade unions. For more than fifty years, labor colleges have played a critical role in developing the knowledge and skill sets of union members who had an interest in labor studies. Many will attribute the heydays of the Caribbean labor movement in the mid-1900s to the intellectual thrust given to the trade union movement by labor colleges. During this period, trade unions relied heavily on labor colleges for intellectual support and advice primarily on matters that required in-depth academic investigation. Support from the labor colleges enhanced the reputation of the labor movement by shifting popular notions that the trade union movement consisted only of the poor and illiterate working class. The effects of these parallel training activities have been positive for both the leadership of the trade union movement and the overall impact they have had on labor-management relationships. There has been a noted change in the pattern of trade union leadership where “the first generation leaders, considered by many as demagogic and messianic, have given way increasingly to a younger and more formally educated second and third generation leadership”.
