UFHRD Higher and Degree Apprenticeships – ‘Insider’ perspective for academic/trainer/lecturers

Friday 11th January saw another successful collaboration with the Department of Management at Sheffield Business School and Universities Forum Human Resource Development (UFHRD) an international association for universities, reflective practitioners, and learning oriented organisations. The Forum’s mission is to create, develop and inform leading–edge HRD theories and practices by promoting professionally-focused qualifications, co-operative research initiatives and consultancy interventions. The topic was ‘An ‘insider’ perspective on Higher and Degree apprenticeships for academic/trainers/lecturers’ and drew together members from 17 institutions from across the country to begin to develop a community of practice on Higher Degree Apprenticeships. The Department of Management at Sheffield Business School were proud to host this as the institution who developed the first Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship in HE and will also be hosting the UFHRD annual conference in June 2021.
