Organised around the apprentice journey, #CUBApprenticeships2023 presents a unique opportunity to bring together a range of voices from across the sector, start a national discussion about this critical work to build community, representation, define and discuss commonly faced challenges, and share and celebrate the good practices that have emerged in isolated parallel across the country.

Helen Charlton, Senior Lecturer in Leadership and HRM, and Director of Education for Apprenticeships at Northumbria University said: “It’s fantastic to be working in partnership with Hertfordshire University to present the inaugural CUBA conference. This is a unique opportunity to bring together a range of voices and start a national discussion about this critical work in the area of business apprenticeships.”

We hope to welcome as many colleagues as possible to join this important conversation as we explore the challenges and opportunities facing coaches at the leading edge of the national skills agenda.”
