'The partnership between MEG and UVAC has clear benefits and advantages for both organisations. UVAC membership gives mixed economy colleges a voice in an important forum for the discussion of higher education policies and initiatives. Members benefit from the range of contacts and experience UVAC brings. In return, UVAC gains access to the views and opinions of colleges which, although firmly based in the further education sector, have an important role to play in the delivery of vocational higher education'.
