How can we help?
Skills
Alliance universities specialise in working with employers to meet skills needs. 1/3 of our courses are professionally accredited, and we deliver 1/3 of degree apprenticeships in England.

Examples of the type of support our members can offer include:
- Co-design of university courses, modules or degree apprenticeships to help fill a long-term skills need.
- Opportunities to consult with universities on the skills needed in your industry, to support their long-term plans.
