The problem:
At present vocational students find it difficult to make the
transition to higher education because many universities don't
recognise their skills. Employers are also often suspicious of
vocational qualifications because they do not feel that they suit
their business needs.
The solution:
Encourage universities to provide specialist courses for
students who have followed vocational pathways to study at degree
level. Partnerships between universities, business and Sector
Skills Councils will create high quality, respected vocational
degree courses that are supported by employers and that students
can be proud to be part of.
