Trusted and uniquely placed to support the next generation
Making learning and careers choices is far from easy, but as the most recognised brand in the education sector, UCAS' role is to make those choices clearer. As a charity, we're completely neutral and unbiased – we only focus on optimum outcomes for students.

How we can help students and employers
With such an exponential growth in students who are interested in apprenticeships, we're here to help them to navigate the complexity of finding and securing an apprenticeship.
That includes supporting employers to find the best possible applicants for their apprenticeships – from posting vacancies and creating an employer profile, to precisely targeting potential candidates and raising awareness through the UCAS ecosystem.
