Since the late 90’s UVAC has become one of the most authoritative voices in the sector of education and training in HE and a leading expert on all aspects of the policy and operational requirements of higher and degree apprenticeships.

That’s quite something!

Through 2024 we have a range of activities and events to commemorate and showcase our achievements including:

• Publishing monthly reflections by the UVAC board, giving their take on the sector and the impact of UVAC’s work over the last 25 years.
• Launching series of thought-provoking concept and discussion papers: taking the opportunity to reflect, in a scholarly way, on the higher and degree apprenticeships conceptual journey and wider skills policy; and to contribute to the increasing body of knowledge in the field of apprenticeships and professional education, delivered by higher education providers.
• Recognition for individuals and organisations working in the sector at the annual National Conference in November. Bookings are now open for our flagship event ​​on Wednesday 6 November at the ICC, Birmingham and online, where we will be looking at the theme of Back to Future in apprenticeships and technical education.
