Bringing together the people, ideas and organisations shaping the future of higher education, apprenticeships and higher technical skills.

Every year, delegates tell us that one of the most valued aspects of UVAC’s National Conference is the opportunity to connect with people within the apprenticeship and skills sector.

As one delegate told us; “meeting with colleagues from across the sector is always a highlight at UVAC..”

Next month, UVAC welcomes colleagues from across the higher education and skills sector to its National Conference at the MTC in Coventry on 19 November.

This year’s theme, Reimagining HE and Skills: Policy, Place, Innovation and Growth, reflects a sector experiencing significant change, alongside new opportunities for collaboration, innovation and growth. With changes to apprenticeship funding, the introduction of the Lifelong Learning Entitlement and the growing importance of higher technical skills, there is plenty for universities, colleges, employers and training providers to discuss.

“I love the opportunity to network with the different university partners.”

Just as important is the opportunity to share experiences, exchange ideas and learn from others facing similar challenges. Whether over a coffee, during the exhibition or between sessions, the conference creates space to start conversations, explore new approaches and build relationships that continue long after the event.

“…an excellent networking opportunity.”

The conference exhibition is another popular opportunity to make connections, bringing delegates together with suppliers and organisations supporting higher education, apprenticeships and work-based learning. It’s a chance to discover what others are doing, explore solutions to common challenges and hear new perspectives from across the sector.

Whether you’re attending to discover new ideas, explore opportunities for collaboration or reconnect with familiar faces, we look forward to welcoming you to Coventry on 19 November.
