Ufi Vision and Mission

We are Ufi VocTech Trust, an independent charity focused on unlocking the full potential of technology to get adults learning, so everyone in the UK has the opportunity to develop the skills they need to succeed in their working lives, now and in the future.

Our Vision

Our vision is a future where technology transforms how we learn and drives systemic change, supporting people, business and the UK economy to thrive.

A future where vocational skills are recognised, valued and backed as the driving force behind the UK’s collective success, and in which technology enables better access, opportunity and outcomes for all.

Our Mission

Our mission is to harness the power of technology to improve skills for work, opening up access and achieving positive lasting outcomes for those furthest from opportunity.

We are catalysts for transformational change in vocational learning

The beliefs that shape the way we think

We believe that every individual and employer can benefit from the acquisition of new skills, so that everyone has the opportunity to progress, to know the satisfaction of a job well done and to positively contribute to a better future for us all.

We believe in a very different approach to developing skills for work, where digital vocational technology (VocTech) is an enabler for a more flexible, engaging learning experience and for delivering improved learning outcomes.

We believe that through harnessing the best in digital technologies, the UK will develop a world-class vocational education system which will be the foundation of a thriving economy. We believe that through supporting better learning for work in all sectors the opportunities for personal, business and societal growth are immense.

We believe we have a particular role in supporting sectors, locations, skills levels and individuals that have not been well served by traditional or mainstream provision.


How we deliver

Ufi is a relatively small organisation with a disproportionately large effect on the sector.

We are effective not just by doing things ourselves – we create the right conditions where others can also succeed.

We are happy that we cannot control everything and we welcome unexpected outcomes. There is risk in all innovation.
