"Apprenticeships are the best way to start a career for school leavers. So therefore having various organisations come together at a UCAS conference like this is absolutely essential to get more apprenticeships for young people in this country."
Jenny Taylor, UK Graduate, Apprenticeship and Student Programme Leader, IBM
Championing diversity and inclusion in apprenticeships
We shared UCAS’ latest insights into how underrepresented groups navigate apprenticeship and early career choices. Our panel of experts then explored best practices to champion diversity and inclusion in apprenticeships.
Coming soon! UCAS research snapshots focusing on four key groups of underrepresented students: neurodiverse students, women in STEM, and those from ethnic minority and lower socio-economic backgrounds.
Project Next Generation: Engaging future talent
How do you attract and connect with Gen Z and Gen Alpha? Our panel of employer brand experts and apprentices explored what truly resonates with young talent—from messaging and content to the platforms they trust.
UCAS’ Project Next Generation report takes a deep dive into 13-17 year-olds considering apprenticeships and early career pathways as their next step. It uncovers the key channels they rely on for information and inspiration and provides actionable strategies to help employers engage and inspire the next generation of decision-makers across the UK.
