University Vocational Awards Council (UVAC)

UVAC and ESFA would like to invite members  to take part in a barrier busting  round table forum.
 We are aware that the challenges facing Higher Education in delivering apprenticeships continue unabated. Both UVAC and ESFA believed that the time is right, as we approach the beginning of the second full academic year after the start of the apprenticeship reform implementation, to bring both organisations together. Our aim is to discuss and agree what practical steps we can take to address barriers or capitalise on the opportunities that are within our existing remit. We also want to take the opportunity to also to raise the priority and improve understanding of the impact of other issues for better informed discussions elsewhere.
This roundtable session will take place from 10.30 until 1. 30 and will be followed by lunch and an opportunity for networking.
