Alumni Code of Principals and Practice

UK Skills and its partners have a deep and lasting respect for all former competitors who have represented the UK in the WorldSkills Competition over many cycles.

UK Skills recognises that while former WorldSkills competitors are a unique resource for the promotion of vocational education and training, access to that resource must not be assumed, and has to be explored and developed on a reciprocal, respectful and professional basis.

UK Skills, with its partners, undertakes to:

• Design and establish a varied and progressive Alumni offer
• Ensure that the offer is balanced in its range
• Ensure that the offer includes opportunities for individual growth and development
• Set out clearly the terms on which the offer is made available
• Communicate clearly to all stakeholders the basis upon which the Alumni programme runs
• Be readily available to clarify issues and allay concerns
• Raise any issues and concerns with you at an early stage
• Work with you towards our common purpose in a climate of mutual respect and professionalism.

In return, UK Skills and its partners look to you to:

• Consider the Alumni offer and make choices according to your needs and aspirations
• Make the most of the opportunities that you commit yourself to
• Represent UK Skills, its partners and yourself in a professional manner
• Show respect to all involved in the WorldSkills project
• Raise any issues and concerns at the earliest appropriate moment
• Keep UK Skills informed of any circumstances arising that have a bearing on your involvement.
