UCAS Apprenticeships in Focus event

We were delighted to host our first ever apprenticeships event for employers at ExCel London – thanks to everyone who joined us. Here’s a selection of highlights and the presentations to download. It was great to talk about the work we’re doing with the Department for Education and our vision to become the go-to place to discover, decide and apply for apprenticeships.
