UVAC Support for all

To support everyone eligible in this round we are inviting members and non members to our live orientation webinar session to explain the process and look at how to approach the EOI and prepare for the window. This is taking place on Monday 27th July 2026 | 14:30 – 16:00 – register HERE  .  We will stay online after the session to answer any queries too. 

If you think that you might benefit from additional more in depth or tailored support for your EOI or to implement the LLE you can commission the UVAC+ team as a paid for consultancy service:

• You can work with one of our experienced team to support your LLE EOI application process  or to support your implementation
• You can join our detailed practical CPD modular curriculum sessions that we will be running in the autumn
• You can commission UVAC to support your staff skills by commissioning us to run one or more of these sessions exclusively in house, or ask for a bespoke session  to be developed

UVAC Member Support

UVAC are offering 2 additional distinct services for members. You will be able to register for these and the sessions below after the orientation session:

1. Join on of our practical workshops in September for those completing the EOI to work though the detail, take tips from previous successful applications and ask questions
2. A live rerun of our three successful 90 minute webinar sessions: LLE and modular  principles and guidelines, on developing and retaining individuals, and on building a market with employers.
