WE STILL NEED YOUR MARKETING MATERIALS – UVAC will be exhibiting at World Skills UK 21-23 November at the NEC in Birmingham to promote all aspects of higher level apprenticeships. We would like to give away your higher and degree apprenticeship marketing collateral and materials (pens, flyers, brochures, post-it notes, button badges etc) to some of the ~70,000 young people, teachers, parents, carers and advisers who attend.

You will need to send your materials to us in one of two ways:

1. Directly to: UVAC, Z3-32, Eagle House, Eagle Campus, University of Bolton, BL3 5AB BY NO LATER THAN Wednesday, 13 November (otherwise it won’t be collected) OR

2. Directly to the NEC marked for our Attention: UVAC, Stand H17-J-15, Education Zone, World Skills UK 21-23 November, NEC, North Avenue, Marston Green, Birmingham, B40 1NT FOR DELIVERY ON WEDNESDAY 20 NOVEMBER (and not before)

If you can, advise Mandy: [email protected] of your intention to send materials and what will be included. We are happy to receive small give-away items particularly. We look forward to hearing from you.

Do consider exhibiting at future World Skills | Live UK events as institutions too, so you can showcase your own apprenticeship provision as a way of encouraging schools and colleges to think about the progression opportunities in apprenticeships for all young people post-18. The perception of apprenticeship benefits from better awareness about the work- based routes now available in technical, associate professional, managerial and professional job roles.
