Welcome to FLUX

Flux is the key annual inter-university competition that bridges the gap between education and the world of work.

The Working Knowledge Group has partnered with the University of Plymouth for the National Final of FLUX 2009 so enabling both organisations to grow and further develop this event together. This partnership reflects the aspirations of both our organisations:

• The Working Knowledge Group is committed to narrowing the gap between education and the workplace, raising the aspirations and employability skills of students and opening the eyes of employers to how new graduates can help drive business success in a rapidly changing economic environment. We won a National Training Award in 2008 for our work in this area visit http://www.twkg.net/html/events.php?award_event=1 for more information.

• The University of Plymouth aims to become the enterprise university, truly “business-engaging” and delivering outstanding economic, social and cultural benefits from intellectual capital. This aim is pivotal in a city acknowledged as the enterprise capital of the south west.

We look forward to welcoming you to the University of Plymouth for the final of FLUX 2009.
