It is an important calendar event that brings together updates on policy and insights to practice in the delivery of higher technical education and skills training including higher and degree apprenticeships.
The programme coverage of this and our previous conferences, showcasing the achievement and prospects within HE, is testament to the determination and innovation of the HE sector’s practitioners and researchers working with employers. Coverage will include:
Coverage will include:
- Updates on how higher and degree apprenticeships and higher technical education support social mobility and contributes to the levelling-up agenda
- The latest on Ofsted inspection at levels 6 and 7 and impact on quality and learning outcomes in relation to Inspection and audit requirements
- Opportunities for widening access to relevant provision via adaptations in innovative digital pedagogy and approach to teaching, learning and assessment and how they are good for social mobility perspectives and diversifying workforces
- Learning from digital adaptations and ongoing application in work-based/work integrated learning in HE, but especially apprenticeships
- The relevance and reality of recent higher and degree apprenticeship policy including Degree Apprenticeship Policy refresh, the use of credit and recognition of prior learning (RPL), Degree Apprenticeship Growth Fund, impact of the Lifelong Learning/Loan Entitlement policy plans, review of the Levy, reboot of Access and Participation Plans, apprenticeships workforce development, growth in Higher Technical Qualifications and progression from T levels into HE.

UVAC is the most authoritative voice on all strategic and operational aspects of apprenticeship delivered by HE.
