We work on behalf of our membership – made up of higher education institutions, corporate and business members.
By consulting with our members we are able to represent and reinforce their views by:
Lobbying policy makers in government departments and agencies
Undertaking regular research activity
Holding timely and issue-driven conferences, webinars and seminars
Publishing special reports, discussion papers and good practice guides
Writing articles and opinion pieces for publication in the media
Championing vocationally related issues of relevance to our membership in the national and sector media
We also work closely with employers, government departments and national and regional agencies including Department for Education (DfE), Office for Students (OfS), Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), Ofsted, Universities UK (UUK), Million Plus, Universities Alliance; Guild HE, Russell Group, WorldSkills UK and UCAS.
