Dates for the March UVAC Knowledge Network meetings are now open!

Don’t miss the opportunity to connect, share insights, and stay updated on key developments.

 

UVAC knowledge networks provide a myriad of benefits for UVAC members and offer a collaborative forum for higher education (HE) practitioners, staff, and academics to collaborate and discuss apprenticeships, the HE skills landscape and other technical and professional qualifications.

 

The networks support the development of communities of practice that align to several apprenticeship standards and different subject specialisms. These collaborative networks provide a safe space and support for HE practitioners, staff and academics to engage with each other and wider stakeholders.

 

Network Events in March include:

Tuesday 4th March 2025 | 13:30 – 15:30  | Online
