About Us

We are an arms length body of the Welsh Government, responsible for the strategy, funding and oversight of:

further education
higher education including research and innovation;
apprenticeships
adult community learning; and local authority maintained school sixth forms.

We work in close collaboration with our partners to enable a tertiary education and research system which is centred around the needs of learners; society; and economy with excellence, equality and engagement at its heart.

Our values really matter to us, they help shape the culture of our organisation:

Dysgu (to learn; to teach; to educate) - learning is at the heart of everything we do. We believe curiosity fuels innovation and helps expand our horizons.
Cydweithio (to work together; to collaborate; to co-operate) - we can achieve far more together than we ever could alone.
