  • We Support the VQ Day Celebrating Vocational Achievement

Every growing company needs high-quality graduates – and they could come from your existing workforce.

We at Higher Education @ Work believe that people already in large companies and other organisations can and should qualify for university degrees, using the work-based learning schemes that firms already have in place - rather than going on campus-based courses.

These academic awards turn vocational competence into academic knowledge, without sacrificing an organisation’s control over its own training and progression programmes.

We act as a bridge between business and universities – tailoring your existing training and work experience schemes so that they are recognised as academic qualifications.

Employees value continuous professional development – check our poll to see why. Offering them pathways to degree qualifications can improve recruitment and encourage staff retention – making your business more successful.

Talk to us about how we can help to develop the skills of your workforce and make it more competitive.
