TOPIC: Construction and Built Environment Network
Architecture, Construction and Built Environment (ACBE) Sector Network Meeting, brings together academics and skills leads from across the Construction and Built Environment sector.
This online session will focus on two key developments shaping the future of skills and apprenticeships:
- Apprenticeship Assessment Reform – examining its impact on technical and professional apprenticeships across the C&BE sector.
- The UK Industrial Strategy – exploring its alignment with the Post 16 Skills Plan and application to the Construction, Clean Energy and Infrastructure sectors.
The meeting will provide the latest updates, offer space for discussion, and invite your insights on opportunities, challenges, and future collaboration. Most importantly, it will help shape how UVAC and other stakeholders can support your work and influence policy.

TOPIC: Unlocking the UK’s potential
You are invited to join us at The Smiths Centre, London and hear from leading voices across education, industry, and government, and to gather insights, and explore effective practice examples, and join the national conversation, as we ‘unpack’ the Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper, guided by the industrial strategy and sector plans, to deliver on our UK’s plan for change. Driving critical innovation, increased productivity, and sustainable economic growth, through the delivery of ‘gold standard’ academic, technical education, and apprenticeships.
Together, we’ll unpack how recent reforms and emerging skills demands are transforming opportunities for learners, employers, and educators.
