Research is our foundation for changing lives
Our Practice Research Unit is unique. It’s one of the few places where academics work hand-in-hand with frontline colleagues to improve understanding of what works in the delivery of services to participants, businesses and wider communities.
Importantly, our research also stimulates sector-wide debates on the best way to deliver a range of services, from helping people into work, building people’s skills or preventing harm in our communities.

Our team
At Seetec, we are committed to growing our research base to better inform how we can increase learner success and reduce barriers to education. Our intention isn’t simply to improve opportunities for our learners, but to inform and influence the practice within the sector so that learners can get the very best experience. Our aim as a Practice Research Unit therefore is to enable evidence-led, continuous improvement both for Seetec’s learner population and for learners across the sector.
