DISCOVER HOW WE’RE DEVELOPING OUR FUTURE GENERATION
About us
DANCOP – the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Collaborative Outreach Programme – is a partnership of the below universities and colleges from across our two counties, working together to raise the aspirations of young people and support them to consider their futures. We aim to inspire and inform young people about their options and encourage them to think about higher education in all forms, including university, college-based higher education, and higher and degree apprenticeships.
We provide targeted outreach activities to schools, colleges and communities specifically focusing on higher education and raising aspirations. We work with teachers and advisors, parents and carers, and learners to address concerns and break down the barriers that might prevent young people from progressing to higher education.
Our central team and Derby hub are based at the University of Derby, with delivery teams based at University of Nottingham and Vision West Nottinghamshire College, providing us the opportunity to work closely with schools and colleges across our counties.
