Paul Wilkinson, Head of Client Partnerships at UDC, which is considered one of the leading authorities on HE work-based learning in the UK, said: “We’re delighted to have been able to partner with Aurora in becoming the first fashion retailer to offer work-based learning to higher education level for existing employees. The programme combines academic, theory and work-based knowledge with vocational skill development and is a great way to begin a university degree pathway to support career progression.”
