This year’s UVAC National Conference brings together an impressive line-up of 43 speakers representing 31 organisations, offering delegates the opportunity to hear directly from the leaders, policymakers, practitionersand sector experts at the forefront of higher education, apprenticeships and skills development. 

At a time of significant change across the sector, our speakers bring a wealth of experience and insight into the policy challenges, emerging opportunities and practical realities facing institutions, employers and training providers. 

From the evolving skills and apprenticeships landscape to employer partnerships, workforce development and innovation in delivery, speakers will share evidence, experiences and practical approaches, connecting national policy discussions with what is happening on the ground.
