What does UCAS do? Most assume its ONLY University -- this is changing. Their service is ever expanding to now attempt to offer parity to all those seeking further education by putting Apprenticeships front and center.

This episode, I speak to Pete Milsom, the Partnerships Manager at UCAS. We talk what are the big changes they are making, why are they getting involved in the game (a big part stems from having all those prospective undergraduates!). We also talk about his career originally as a assessor for apprentices and what it was like moving through the change that was ditching "Frameworks" for the newer more formal system.
